PREFACE 

As  first  planned,  this  work  was  to  include  by  way  of  in- 
troduction a  fairly  comprehensive  history  of  the  periodicals 
and  newspapers  of  the  state.  The  bibliography  grew  be- 
yond the  expected  size,  and  the  historical  material  proved 
even  more  abundant;  consequently  the  introduction  has 
been  made  only  a  sketch,  and  is  to  be  regarded  as  but 
preliminary  to  a  more  thorough  treatment  of  the  subject. 
It  is  to  be  hoped,  however,  that  even  in  this  brief  form 
it  may  indicate  some  of  the  many  ways  hi  which  the 
ephemeral  stuff  of  newspapers  and  periodicals  is  an  organic 
part  of  the  literature  and  history  of  the  commonwealth. 
That  but  a  slight  amount  of  this  material  is  preserved  at  all, 
and  that  little  of  what  is  extant  is  accessible,  are  two  deplor- 
able facts  to  be  derived  from  the  following  pages.  The 
library  lists  may  prove  convenience  to  those  who  have 
occasion  to  consult  files  c  early  newspapers.  If  they  serve 
no  other  purpose,  however,  they  may  call  attention  to  the 
slight  amount  of  such  material  now  in  the  safe  keeping  of 
fireproof  library  buildings,  and  may  indirectly  help  to  rescue 
from  attics  and  storerooms  the  dwindling  legacy  that  is  food 
for  mice  and  flames. 

The  sources  of  the  bibliography  include  practically  all 
of  the  printed  county  histories  and  "biographical  albums" 
and  some  in  manuscript;  the  proceedings  of  state,  county,

and  city  historical  societies,  histories  of  Illinois  and  of  towns ; 
gazetteers,  early  books  of  travels,  memoirs,  city  directories, 
newspaper  directories  from  1856,  fourteen  hundred  indi- 
viduals, either  through  correspondence  or  through  inter- 
views, and  the  files  of  many  of  the  publications.  In  many 
instances  it  has  been  well  nigh,  and  in  some  quite,  impossible 
to  reconcile  conflicts  of  statement,  especially  when  no  files 
of  the  publication  concerned  could  be  found.  For  instance, 
the  desire  of  publishers  to  acquire  long  life  for  their  papers 
has  in  some  cases  caused  the  papers  to  accrete  age  simul- 
taneously at  both  ends  of  their  careers.  In  the  newspaper 
directories  for  1871  to  1876,  1868  is  given  as  the  year  in 
which  a  certain  paper  was  established.  By  1880  this  date 
had  receded  to  1864,  and,  gaining  momentum,  by  1881  had 
gone  to  1 86 1.  Sometimes  these  dates  are  changed  arbi- 
trarily; more  often,  though,  antiquity  is  acquired  by  fasten- 
ing paternity  upon  some  preceding  publication.  This 
phenomenon  has  been  a  source  of  confusion,  and  probably 
of  error.  Possibly  many  papers  are  linked  in  series  that  have 
had  no  other  than  a  chronological  relation. 

I  wish  to  acknowledge  my  indebtedness  to  the  large 
number  of  persons  whom  I  cannot  mention  individually: 
editors,  former  editors,  librarians,  members  of  the  State 
Historical  Society,  and  others,  who  to  the  number  of  nearly 
fourteen  hundred  have  contributed  to  the  making  of  this 
compilation.  Special  acknowledgement  is  due  President 
Edmund  Janes  James,  of  the  University  of  Illinois;  Mrs. 
Jessie  Palmer  Weber,  Librarian  of  the  State  Historical

HISTORICAL  INTRODUCTION 


INTRODUCTION 

PRELIMINARY 

This  introduction  is  the  result  of  an  effort  to  sketch  a 
historical  background  for  the  disconnected  bibliographical 
material  which  forms  the  body  of  this  work.  It  is  not  in- 
tended as  a  history  of  the  newspapers  and  periodicals  of 
Illinois;  but,  as  one  of  our  county  historians  has  said,  the 
newspaper  business  with  us  has  been  a  "  halcyon  and  vocif- 
erous proceeding,"  and  some  outline  such  as  this  may  be 
needed  to  find  the  halcyon  if  not  the  vociferous  in  the  life 
history  of  our  newspapers  and  periodicals.  Especially  is  it 
purposed  to  deal  with  the  beginnings  in  Illinois  journalism, 
and  to  a  less  extent  to  suggest  the  relation  of  the  newspaper 
to  the  manifold  successive  elements  that  have  entered  in  the 
making  of  the  state  —  population,  transportation,  communi- 
cation, politics,  education,  and  other  materials  and  methods 
of  economic  and  social  development;  and  to  record  some 
important  tendencies  and  certain  isolated  facts  not  now 
conveniently  accessible  elsewhere. 

The  conditions  under  which  the  first  Illinois  newspaper 
was  established,  in  1814,  included  many  disadvantages, 
which  made  any  other  than  a  meager  and  tenuous  subsistence 
for  it  impossible.  The  population  was  small  and  widely 
distributed ;  the  means  of  communication  were  merely  rudi- 
mentary and  frequently  inoperative;  and  both  money  and 
labor  were  exceedingly  scarce.  That  a  newspaper  was 
started  as  early  as  1814  was  due  not  so  much  to  business  as 
to  political  reasons:  there  was  United  States  and  territorial

printing  to  be  done;  and  the  politicians  of  the  territory, 
including  a  large  proportion  of  the  male  population,  were 
yearning  toward  statehood. 

The  population  of  the  territory  of  Illinois  had  increased 
slowly  until  1813,  but  with  the  cessation  of  Indian  raids  after 
the  close  of  the  war  of  1812,  and  the  passage  of  the  pre- 
emption act  of  1813,  a  new  epoch  in  immigration  began.1 
A  land  office  was  opened  in  Kaskaskia  in  1814,  and  the  influx 
of  permanent  settlers  was  much  increased.  The  total  popu- 
lation at  that  time  may  have  been  well  toward  twenty  thou- 
sand, but  it  was  thinly  distributed.  The  village  and  vicinity 
of  Kaskaskia,  which  in  1815  contained  between  seven  hun- 
dred and  one  thousand  persons,  was  least  sparsely  settled.2 
Gallatin,  with  Shawneetown  as  its  chief  village,  was  the  most 
populous  county  on  the  east  side  of  the  territory.  As  late 
as  1818  it  contained  but  thirty-two  hundred  persons.8 
Shawneetown,  where  the  second  paper  in  the  state  was 
established,  numbered  between  thirty  and  forty  families.4 

A  fact  that  doubtless  tended  to  hinder  the  beginning  of 
newspapers  in  Illinois  was  the  presence,  on  two  sides  of  the 
populated  area,  of  larger  centers  of  population  than  any  in 
Illinois:  Vincennes  on  the  east,  and  St.  Louis  on  the  west. 
In  the  first  a  newspaper  had  been  established  a  full  decade 
before  the  Illinois  Herald  was  issued  —  so  well  established 
that  it  is  still  published ;  in  the  second  the  Missouri  Gazette 
began,  in  1808,  a  career  which  it  has  continued,  under  various 
names,  to  the  present.  Other  papers  helped  to  supply  the 
needs  of  the  Illinois  settlers.  In  1816  the  citizens  of  Shaw-

houses.

neetown  gave  notice  through  the  papers  of  Kaskaskia, 
Frankfort  (Kentucky),  and  Nashville  (Tennessee),  that  they 
would  apply  to  the  legislature  of  Illinois  for  the  establishment 
of  a  bank  at  that  place.5  These  papers,  supported  by  the 
population  of  towns  larger  than  any  in  the  new  territory, 
doubtless  delayed  both  the  beginning  and  the  spread  of 
newspapers  in  Illinois. 

Means  of  communication  were  meager,  primitive,  and 
did  not  function  with  either  despatch  or  regularity.  The 
earliest  settlements  were  naturally  on  the  waterways  — 
the  Wabash,  Ohio,  Mississippi,  and  Kaskaskia  rivers.  No 
roads  or  mail  routes  were  opened  until  1805.  The  first  mail 
route  was  established  in  that  year  from  Vincennes  to  Caho- 
kia;6  the  second  from  Vincennes  to  Shawneetown  in  1806. 
In  1810  routes  were  established  to  St.  Louis  by  way  of  Kas- 
kaskia, Prairie  du  Rocher,  and  Cahokia;  from  Kaskaskia 
to  Cape  Girardeau,  by  way  of  St.  Genevieve;  from  Louis- 
ville to  Shawneetown;  and  in  1814  to  Johnson  Court  House 
(now  Vienna).  Over  these  routes  mail  was  carried  regularly 
once  or  twice  a  week,  except  in  bad  weather,  or  when  the 
roads  were  impassable.7  But  it  will  appear  later  that  even 
when  the  mail  was  regularly  carried,  the  whole  postal  system 
was  so  bad  that  regularity  and  promptness  in  the  arrival  of 
expected  mail  were  never  assured. 

The  transportation  of  freight  suffered  even  more  serious 
vicissitudes  than  the  distribution  of  the  mail,  and  the  pros- 
pective publisher  of  the  first  newspaper  may  well  have  felt 
himself  at  some  disadvantage  in  being  as  remote  from  the 
source  of  his  supply  of  paper  and  equipment  as  was  Kaskas-

kia  from  Cincinnati  or  Frankfort.  All  goods  had  to  be 
carried  down  the  Ohio  on  flatboats,  and  then  poled  up  the 
Mississippi,  or  hauled  overland  by  wagon.  The  rivers  were 
frequently  too  high  or  too  low  for  ease  of  navigation,  and  the 
roads  frequently  offered  insuperable  difficulties. 

Such  were  some  of  the  conditions  in  Illinois  in  1814,  when 
the  first  newspaper  was  established.  Other  circumstances 
and  the  changes  that  came  with  the  growth  of  population  wiU 
appear  in  the  account  of  the  papers  of  the  first  decade  and 
later. 

THE  FIRST  DECADE 

The  first  period  in  the  history  of  newspapers  in  Illinois, 
which  begins  with  the  founding  of  the  Illinois  Herald  in  1814, 
closes  naturally  and  conveniently  with  the  momentous  con- 
vention election  held  in  August,  1824.  In  the  first  period 
of  ten  years  five  separate  papers  were  established,  and  all 
continued  until  the  election. 

1.  Illinois  Herald,  established  at  Kaskaskia  in  1814;  re- 

named Western  Intelligencer  in  1816;  renamed  Illinois 
Intelligencer  in  1818;  followed  the  state  capital  to 
Vandalia  in  1820. 

2.  Illinois  Emigrant,  established  in  Shawneetown  in  1818; 

renamed  Illinois  Gazette  in  1819. 

3.  Edwardsville  Spectator,  established  at  Edwardsville  in 

1819. 

4.  Star  of  the  West,  established  at  Edwardsville  in  1822; 

renamed  Illinois  Republican  in  1823;  discontinued 
at  the  time  of  the  election  in  1824. 

5.  Republican  Advocate,  established  at  Kaskaskia  early  in 

1823;  renamed  Kaskaskia  Republican  in  1824;  con- 
tinued until  1825;  revived  early  in  1826  as  Illinois 
Reporter,  and  continued  for  about  a  year. 


INTRODUCTION  xxix 

It  appears  from  this  list  that  Illinois  had  but  one  terri- 
torial newspaper,  which  bore  at  successive  times  three  various 
names.  With  the  coming  of  statehood  in  1818,  a  rival  party, 
and  therefore  a  rival  newspaper,  was  inevitable.  As  early 
as  the  twenty-ninth  number  of  this  second  paper,  dated 
January  9, 1819,  the  Emigrant  indicated  that  two  newspapers, 
although  they  were  as  far  apart  as  the  limits  fixed  by  nature 
and  population  would  permit,  could  not  exist  pacifically  in 
Illinois. 

The  coming  of  the  Illinois  Emigrant  indicated  no  shifting 
of  the  population;  more  significant  was  the  advent  of  the 
Edwardsville  Spectator  in  1819.  By  this  year  the  popula- 
tion of  Madison  County  had  increased  to  a  number  between 
four  thousand  and  fifty-five  hundred;  Edwardsville,  the 
county  town,  contained  sixty  or  seventy  houses,  a  courthouse, 
a  jail,  a  bank,  and  a  land-office.  Alton,  but  a  few  miles 
away,  had  one  hundred  houses.8  The  new  capital  on  the 
upper  Kaskaskia  was  already  projected  by  land  speculators. 
In  the  next  year  the  seat  of  government  was  moved,  and  with 
it  the  Illinois  Intelligencer,  to  Vandalia.  The  other  papers 
of  the  period  were  significant  only  as  parties  to  the  conven- 
tion struggle. 

Throughout  this  period  from  1814  to  1824  the  country 
was  developed  rapidly  to  the  northward.  The  population 
had  grown  by  1820  to  55,211.°  In  1814  there  were  nine 
post-offices  in  the  territory,  and  three  hundred  and  eighty- 
eight  miles  of  post-roads.10  From  that  time  both  post-offices

and  post- roads  increased  greatly."  By  1819  a  road  was 
opened  from  Shawneetown,  by  way  of  Carmi  to  Albion,  in 
Edwards  County.  In  February,  1821,  the  legislature  author- 
ized the  building  of  a  turnpike  road  from  the  Mississippi 
opposite  St.  Louis,  across  the  American  Bottom  to  the  bluffs. 
Edwardsville,  Springfield,  and  Peoria  were  connected  by  a 
mail  route  in  1822 ;  in  the  same  year  a  road  and  a  mail  route 
were  established  between  Vandalia  and  Springfield,  over 
which  the  State  Capital  was  soon  to  continue  its  migration 
to  the  northward.12  In  the  same  year  also,  a  direct  path 
was  established  from  Iroquois  Post  (now  Iroquois)  to  Dan- 
ville. In  1824  this  path  was  extended  northward  to  Chicago, 
and  southwest  from  Danville  for  one  hundred  and  fifty  miles,13 
but  no  mail  was  carried  over  any  part  of  this  route  until 
eight  years  later.  Springfield  was  the  northern  terminus  of 
the  mail  route  early  in  1823,  and  the  next  year  Sangamon 
County  was  still  almost  entirely  without  ferries,  bridges,  or 
roads.  Over  most  of  these  routes  mail  was  carried  once  a 
week. 

River  transportation  had  developed  rapidly  through  the 
introduction  of  the  steamboat.  The  Orleans  had  gone  down 
the  Ohio  from  Pittsburg  in  1811,  the  Washington  in  1817. 
In  1817  the  first  steamboat  to  touch  a  port  on  the  upper 
Mississippi  reached  St.  Louis ;  Galena  saw  its  first  steamboat 
in  1822.  This  was  the  field,  and  these  were  the  means  of 
communication  in  which  and  by  which  the  newspapers  of 

11  In  1821  there  were  fifty-seven  post-offices,  but  in  1823  and  1825  only  fifty 
three.     Until  after  the  first  decade,  Shawneetown  did  more  postal  business  than 
any  other  town  in  Illinois,  and  in  1817  it  was  the  only  post-office  in  the  state  in 
which  a  clerk  was  employed.     In  1821  it  did  twice  as  much  as  Edwardsville,  and 
four  times  as  much  as  Kaskaskia.     See  U.  S.  Official  Registers  or  "Blue  Books,'1 
for  1817-1825.

the  first  decade  served  and  were  served.  But  the  delays  in 
the  mail  service  and  in  the  delivery  of  freight  were  so  frequent 
and  so  prolonged  as  to  be  to-day  almost  incredible.  The 
Illinois  Emigrant  issued  no  number  between  June  23  and 
August  24,  1819,  because  paper  shipped  down  the  Ohio  on 
June  1 3th  was  delayed  by  low  water  and  did  not  arrive 
until  more  than  two  months  later.  If  this  delay  was  suf- 
fered by  a  paper  nearest  the  source  of  supply  and  directly 
on  the  Ohio,  more  extended  gaps  might  well  be  expected 
in  the  other  early  files.  On  June  21,  1823,  the  Illinois 
Gazette  received  through  the  post  a  New  York  Spectator  of 
November  22,  1822,  a  Richmond  Enquirer  of  December  7, 
1822,  and  a  Frankfort  Commentator  of  January  2,  1823. 
"Such  is  the  wretched  state  of  the  mails  west  of  the  moun- 
tains, and  complaints  and  remonstrances  seem  unavailing 
to  improve  it,"  remarked  the  editor.  On  this  mail  service 
the  early  western  papers  depended  for  their  news  of  the  out- 
side world.  Hall,  in  the  Illinois  Gazette,  pictures  the  situ- 
ation in  1821  thus: 

"  After  a  lapse  of  several  weeks  (three  months,  to  be 
exact)  we  are  now  enabled  to  resume  the  publication  of  our 
sheet.  Paper  (the  want  of  which  has  been  the  cause  of  the 
late  interruption)  was  shipped  for  us  early  last  fall,  on  board 
of  a  boat  bound  for  St.  Louis  —  to  which  place,  owing  prob- 
ably to  the  forgetfulness  of  the  master,  it  was  carried  and 
has  but  just  now  come  to  hand.  Our  situation  is  such,  and 
our  means  so  inadequate  to  guard  against  these  occasional 
interruptions,  by  laying  in  large  supplies  of  paper,  ink,  etc., 
at  a  time  that  we  are  more  or  less  affected  by  every  change 
in  the  elements,  or  defalcation  in  individual  promises.  High 
and  low  water  it  seems  are  equally  our  enemies  —  the  one  is 
sure  to  delay  the  arrival  of  some  article  necessary  to  the 


xxxii  ILLINOIS  HISTORICAL  COLLECTIONS 

prosecution  of  our  labors,  while  the  other  hurries  something 
of  which  we  stand  in  the  most  pressing  need,  down  the  cur- 
rent beyond  our  reach.  And  high  winds,  and  warm  and 
cold  weather,  equally  delight  to  make  us  their  sport.  But 
we  assure  our  subscribers  that  however  much  they  may  regret 
missing  a  paper  for  a  week,  they  cannot  regret  it  more  than 
we;  for,  after  all,  we  are  the  only  losers."  More  than  five 
years  had  been  required  to  complete  four  volumes. 

This  uncertainty,  especially  in  the  freight  service,  lasted 
until  long  afterward.  "You  are  doubtless  waiting  with 
some  degree  of  impatience,"  wrote  Hooper  Warren  to  Ninian 
Edwards  from  Galena,  July  6,  1829,  "for  the  appearance 
of  the  Galena  Advertiser.  After  waiting  more  than  three 
weeks  after  my  arrival,  the  materials  from  Springfield 
arrived  from  St.  Louis.  How  they  got  there  I  have  never 
learned.  .  .  .  When  we  were  elated  with  the  certainty  of 
getting  out  the  paper  immediately,  we  were  astonished  to  find 
that  the  keg  of  ink  had  been  left  behind!  I  put  it  into  the 
wagon  myself  at  Springfield  with  the  other  materials  sent  to 
Beardstown  on  the  Illinois.  Dr.  Philleo  started  down  the 
river  immediately,  which  was  three  weeks  ago  last  Saturday, 
to  look  for  it.  We  heard  from  him  by  letter  at  the  Lower 
Rapids  on  the  2oth  ult,  at  which  time  he  had  not  found  it, 
and  was  about  to  start  down  to  St.  Louis.  We  expect  him 
by  the  next  boat  or  stage."  14  In  the  next  year,  publication 
of  the  Illinois  Monthly  Magazine  at  Vandalia,  the  state 
capital,  was  considerably  delayed  by  the  failure  of  paper  to 
arrive,  and  editor  Hall  gave  this  difficulty  in  the  matter  of 
transportation  as  one  reason  for  removing  the  publication  to 
Cincinnati.  "We  feel  no  inconsiderable  regret,"  wrote  the 
editor  of  the  Illinois  State  Gazette  and  Jacksonville  News  on

INTRODUCTION  xxxiii 

January  17,  1835,  "at  being  compelled  to  an  occasional 
suspension  of  our  publication  (owing  to  a  want  of  paper); 
but  the  regret  is  lessened  somewhat  by  the  fact  that  every 
paper  in  the  state,  with  perhaps  a  single  exception,  has  suf- 
fered like  disappointments."  The  News  had  then  suffered 
a  suspension  of  three  weeks. 

The  general  character  of  the  newspapers  of  the  period 
was  political,  the  tone  frequently  controversial,  but  highly 
moral  and  often  religious.  As  newspapers  they  would  to-day 
be  regarded,  even  from  the  point  of  view  of  the  country 
weekly,  as  sad  efforts.  Of  political  news,  either  state  or 
national,  there  was  no  lack,  and  the  editors  sometimes 
showed  considerable  enterprise  in  securing  it;  but  of  local 
news  in  the  present  sense  there  was  very  little.  Occasionally 
some  space  was  given  to  an  account  of  an  unusual  murder 
in  the  vicinity,  or  an  extraordinary  rise  or  fall  of  the  river; 
but  usually  the  remoteness  of  the  event  seemed  to  increase 
its  importance,  and  one  finds  more  often  an  account  of  the 
hop  yield  in  Silesia  than  of  the  wheat  crop  in  Illinois.  It 
was  easier  to  reset  items  from  the  eastern  papers,  when  they 
arrived,  than  to  gather  facts  and  compose  original  matter.15 
This  was  especially  true  in  the  frequent  periods  when  the 
politician  who  ran  the  paper  was  absent,  and  the  work  was 
left  to  the  itinerant  and  bibulous  printer. 

The  editorial  occupied  a  variable,  but  on  the  whole,  an 
important  place.  These  first  five  papers  had  pretty  definite 
purposes,  forwarded  or  achieved  largely  by  the  direct  appeal 
of  the  editorial,  which,  not  infrequently  in  "parlous  times" 

18  Shawneetown  was  for  many  years  the  chief  gateway  for  emigrants  to  Southern 
Illinois,  and  a  "port  of  call"  for  all  the  settlers  bound  for  Missouri  via  the  Ohio 
River.  Equipped  with  the  present  newspaper  reporter's  zeal  for  news,  the  editor 
of  the  Gazette  could  have  made  his  paper  a  highly  important  record  of  the  flowing 
tide  of  emigration  to  the  land  of  promise.  But  the  record  was  not  written.  Political 
maneuvers  and  quarrels  were  more  important  than  the  incoming  population. 


xxxiv  ILLINOIS  HISTORICAL  COLLECTIONS 

of  political  conflict,  filled  one  of  the  four  small  pages,  and 
in  a  few  instances  overran  even  that  ample  room.  Positive 
or  controversial  opinion  was  often  expressed  over  an  obvious 
but  sufficient  nom  de  plume,  though  quite  as  often  the  name 
of  the  editor  was  in  itself  a  sufficient  disguise  for  the  individual 
or  the  interest  behind  the  paper.  Thus  we  find  Sidney 
Breese  writing  to  Governor  Edwards:  "If  I  continue  en- 
gaged in  politics,  I  am  determined  to  make  Gov.  Reynolds 
choose  between  Smith  and  myself,  in  other  words  between 
the  Crisis  and  the  Democrat.  Do  give  your  views  .  .  . 
editorially,  thro'  me,  in  the  Democrat."  16  Yet  R.  K.  Flem- 
ing was  nominally  editor,  the  paper  was  referred  to  by  War- 
ren in  the  Galena  Advertiser  as  "Fleming's  paper,"  and  not 
until  almost  a  year  later  did  suspicion  appear  in  print  that 
Breese  was  the  actual  editor.  John  McLean,  in  the  Illinois 
Gazette  for  July  29,  1820,  called  Ninian  Edwards  the  "actual 
editor  of  the  Edwardsville  Spectator,"  nominally,  and  in  fact, 
edited  by  Hooper  Warren;  and  we  find  abundant  evidence 
in  Warren's  letters  to  Edwards  17  that  in  editing  his  papers 
Sangamo  Spectator  and  Galena  Advertiser,  Warren  was  con- 
tinually under  the  influence  of  Edwards.  Yet  Warren  was 
one  of  the  strongest  and  most  independent  of  the  early 
editors,  of  quite  a  different  sort  from  Fleming,  and  the  yoke 
of  obligation  was  burdensome  to  him.18 

While  in  such  cases  the  nominal  editor  was  the  spokes- 
man for  some  one  else,  there  were  other  cases  in  which 
editorial  utterances  were  disguised  by  means  of  an  assumed 
name.  Signed  contributions  occupied  a  large  and  important 
place  in  the  early  papers,  as  they  have  done,  and  still  do,  in

English  newspapers.  These  articles  were  either  remarks  of 
the  editor,  or  bona  fide  contributions  of  outsiders.  As  one 
of  the  earliest  occurrences  of  the  first  kind  may  be  cited  a 
series  of  letters  in  the  Illinois  Gazette,  signed  "Brutus," 
attacking  Daniel  P.  Cook.19  They  were  undoubtedly 
written  by  James  Hall,  who  was  at  that  time  editor;  but, 
though  Hall  acknowledged  editorial  responsibility  for  the 
letters,  he  never  acknowledged  his  authorship  of  them.  Of 
the  second  kind  there  are  to  be  found  no  more  interesting 
illustrations  than  are  furnished  by  the  many  communications 
of  Morris  Birkbeck,  sometimes  signed  with  his  own  name, 
sometimes  with  "Jonathan  Freeman."  They  were  con- 
cerned especially  with  slavery  or  with  agriculture,  and  were 
as  interesting  and  brisk  in  style  as  they  were  numerous  and 
long. 

The  political  influence  and  significance  of  acknowledged 
editorials  was  of  serious  moment,  and  matters  of  importance 
were  not  hastily  disposed  of  with  an  irresponsible  squib.  Big 
guns  were  brought  to  bear,  no  matter  how  belated  the  broad- 
side. Political  leaders  were  consulted  and  heeded,  even 
when  they  were  not  themselves  induced  to  write.  An  editor 
and  politician  no  less  important  than  Daniel  P.  Cook  wrote 
to  Ninian  Edwards:  "I  shall  want  to  make  some  comments 
on  the  importance  of  the  subject,  and  altho'  I  shall  do  it  as 
my  own  entirely,  I  shall  wish  very  much  to  have  your  assist- 
ance in  that  business.  Indeed  it  appears  to  be  a  subject  of 
such  acknowledged  importance  that  a  man  who  is  able  to 
develop  its  niceties  may  well  expect  to  acquire  some  fame 
for  so  doing ;  and  I  therefore  wish  your  assistance  in  making 
any  remarks,  lest  I  should  discover  a  want  of  tolerable 

19  The  first  was  printed  June  22, 1822.  Cook  replied  in  the  Illinois  Intelligencer; 
in  answer  to  this  reply  Hall  assumed  responsibility  for  the  articles  in  an  editorial 
printed  July  27.

knowledge  of  the  subject,  which  would  rather  make  me 
appear  ridiculous  than  otherwise."  20 

Much  of  the  space  afforded  by  the  lack  of  news  was  filled 
with  "literature."  "Want  of  room  alone,"  explains  one  of 
the  earliest  editors,21  "has  prevented  us  from  fulfilling  an 
intention  which  we  had  early  formed,  of  devoting  a  portion 
of  our  columns  to  literature.  Our  own  resources  at  this 
insulated  spot,  where  we  can  calculate  on  but  little  assistance 
and  where  we  seldom  receive  new  books,  must  of  course  be 
small;  but  the  columns  of  many  of  the  Eastern  papers  are 
tastefully  variegated  with  those  lighter  productions  which 
delight  the  fancy,  and  on  them  we  may  sometimes  draw,  for 
the  amusement  of  our  readers.  But  among  our  friends  and 
neighbors  there  are,  no  doubt,  many  who  might  contribute 
something  towards  the  amusement  and  instruction  of  others.' 
And  indeed,  to  the  many  cultural  excerpts  from  the  taste- 
fully variegated  columns  were  added  stories,  poems,  and 
essays  by  friends  and  neighbors.  John  Russell,  Morris 
Birkbeck,  and  James  Hall  wrote  often  for  those  earliest 
papers,  and  made  of  them  sources  not  to  be  overlooked  by 
those  who  would  know  the  early  agriculture,  horticulture, 
society,  education,  and  politics,  as  well  as  literature  of  Illinois. 
Out  of  the  somewhat  haphazard  occasional  use  of  this  kind 
of  material  in  the  first  papers  there  grew  a  well  established 
custom  of  devoting  certain  columns  to  such  matter,  a  custom 
that  has  persisted  even  to  the  present  in  some  localities. 
These  earlier  productions,  however  crude,  had  individuality, 
vigor,  and  genuineness  not  to  be  found  in  the  sapless  tabloid 
material  now  supplied  in  plates  at  a  dollar  and  a  quarter  a 
page.

INTRODUCTION  xxxvii 

The  business  of  publishing  a  newspaper  in  the  early  days 
was  poor  enough  at  best,  and  the  publisher  had  a  hard  strug- 
gle to  make  a  living.  The  initial  cost  of  a  plant  was  small, 
and  the  expense  of  maintenance  was  low,  but  the  sources  of 
income  were  correspondingly  meager.  Had  there  been  no 
public  printing  and  no  politicians  who  felt  the  need  of 
"organs,"  probably  no  early  paper  could  have  lived  a  year, 
for  the  subscribers  were  few  and  the  advertisements  yielded 
little  income. 

The  first  cost  of  establishing  a  plant  seems  to  have  varied 
from  four  hundred  to  a  thousand  dollars,  according  to  the 
amount  of  type  the  publisher  felt  necessary.  The  cost  of 
maintenance  was  small.  In  many  instances  one  man  did 
all  the  work;  seldom  were  more  than  two  employed  on  one 
paper.  Usually,  it  seems,  a  lawyer  or  other  ambitious  person 
wishing  to  start  a  paper  found  a  printer,  furnished  the  plant, 
editorials,  and  some  of  the  news,  and  left  the  printer  to  solicit 
advertising,  gather  "items,"  make  selections  of  news  and 
"elegant  miscellany"  from  the  exchanges,  set  type,  and 
"run  off"  and  deliver  the  paper. 

Public  printing  was  a  boon  to  the  three  earliest  papers, 
and  no  doubt  did  much  to  prolong  their  careers  beyond  the 
average  length.  This  was  especially  true  of  the  first  and 
the  most  successful,  which  was  established  at  an  opportune 
time.  There  was  a  great  and  growing  territory  rapidly 
being  settled  by  ambitious  pioneers ;  there  was  an  increasing 
body  of  laws,  with  no  newspaper  in  which  to  print  them; 
there  was  the  United  States  printing  patronage  to  be  secured, 
as  well  as  the  official  job-work.  A  law  in  force  May  21, 1 8 10, 
declared  that  "whereas,  it  is  provided  .  .  .  that  advertise- 
ments should  be  inserted  in  some  public  newspaper  pub- 
lished in  the  territory  .  .  .  ;  and  whereas,  there  is  at  this

time  no  newspaper  printed  in  this  territory:"  22  such  adver- 
tisements should  be  inserted  in  "some  of  the  newspapers 
published  in  the  Louisiana  Territory."  The  act  was  to 
remain  in  force  "until  a  newspaper  is  established  and  pub- 
lished in  this  territory  and  no  longer."  23 

The  privilege  of  printing  the  United  States  laws  was  of 
relatively  great  value  and  was  eagerly  sought.  An  act  to 
authorize  the  publication  of  the  laws  in  two  newspapers  in 
each  territory  was  passed  but  three  or  four  months  after  the 
first  paper  in  Illinois  was  established.24  In  1818  the  number 
of  papers  to  be  favored  was  increased  to  three,  and  the 
matter  to  be  published  was  made  to  include  not  only  the 
laws,  but  resolutions,  public  treaties,  and  amendments  to 
the  constitution.25  By  this  act  the  compensation  was  fixed 
at  the  rate  of  one  dollar  for  each  printed  page  of  the  pam- 
phlet in  which  the  copy  was  furnished,  a  page  not  far  from 
the  size  of  standard  law  books  to-day. 

The  minimum  number  of  subscribers  on  which  a  paper 
could  be  run  seems  to  have  been  fixed  by  Hooper  Warren 
when  he  wrote  to  Ninian  Edwards  in  1828  that  the  Sangamo 
Spectator  had  but  1 70  subscribers,  of  which  probably  a  third 
would  withdraw  when  the  year  was  up,  and  that  nothing 

22  This  conclusively  corrects  Reynolds'  statement  that  the  Illinois  Herald  was 
established  in  1809,  an  error  handed  down  to  the  present  time.     (See  Boggess, 
Settlement  of  Illinois,  1775—1830,  p.  132,  for  the  latest  instance.)

25  Act  approved  April  20,  1818.  The  number  of  papers  to  be  used  in  each  state 
and  territory  was  changed  to  two  in  1846;  the  practice  was  discontinued  in  March, 
1875.  The  amount  of  income  derived  from  this  source  varied.  The  first  Official 
Register  to  give  the  names  of  the  printers  of  the  laws  and  the  amounts  that  they 
were  paid  (that  of  1833)  gives  $177.00  for  the  first  session  and  $91.00  for  the  second. 
These  amounts  were  much  smaller  than  those  paid  previously.  An  incidental 
benefit  accrued  from  official  favor.  There  was  much  printing  to  be  done  for  the 
Department  of  State  and  of  War  and  the  Post  Office  Department,  and  the  news- 
paper publishers  often  received  from  such  sources  two  or  three  times  the  amount 
paid  for  publishing  the  laws.

could  sustain  the  paper  but  new  type  and  its  enlargement.28 
Four  hundred  subscribers  were  considered  a  satisfactory 
number,  although  one  finds  vain  boasting  here  and  there 
that  with  proper  help  from  all  friends  this  or  that  paper 
could  increase  its  list  to  a  thousand. 

Advertisements  were  few,  seldom  filling  one-fourth  of 
the  paper,  and  the  rates  were  low.  Of  these  early  adver- 
tisements, those  of  taverns,  whiskey,  town-sites,  and  run- 
away negroes  are  found  most  frequently.  The  last  named  is 
found  in  surprising  numbers,  not  only  in  the  first  decade,  but 
on  down  to  the  Civil  War,  many  bearing  the  little  woodcut 
of  a  negro  with  his  bundle  which  so  impressed  Miss  Mar- 
tineau,  and  nearly  all  offering  a  reward  of  one  cent  for  the 
fugitive's  return.  Prospectuses  of  new  papers,  and  adver- 
tisements of  eastern,  especially  Washington,  papers  were 
numerous.  These,  together  with  notices  of  Philadelphia, 
New  York,  and  Boston  magazines  grew  in  frequency  until 
the  middle  of  the  century,  when  the  use  of  the  telegraph 
began  to  shift  the  whole  newspaper  situation. 

Subscribers  and  advertisers  would  have  been  of  more 
value  to  the  struggling  publishers  if  they  had  paid,  but  very 
often  they  didn't  pay.  In  the  case  of  nearly  all  early  papers 
the  subscription  price  if  paid  in  advance  was  a  dollar  lower 
than  if  paid  at  the  end  of  the  year,  but  from  the  frequent 
appeals  for  money  on  account,  one  surmises  that  the  sub- 
scribers found  a  way  to  save  more  than  the  one  dollar.  They 
were  appealed  to  in  prose  and  in  verse,  they  were  cajoled, 
praised,  lectured,  and  denounced.  Money  was  wretchedly 
scarce,  but  almost  any  commodity  was  acceptable.  A  full 
list  of  what  the  printers  offered  to  receive  would  be  an  in-

ren wrote :  "  Had  not  this  contract  been  made  it  is  probable  the  paper  would  have

ventory  of  the  daily  needs  of  the  pioneer.  The  publishers 
of  the  Illinois  Gazette  announced  that  they  would  receive 
in  payment  of  subscriptions,  clean  linen  and  cotton  rags; 
in  payment  for  subscriptions  and  advertisements,  bacon, 
tallow,  beeswax,  and  feathers.  Later,  hides,  deerskins, 
and  pork  were  also  acceptable.  Had  there  been  no  laws  to 
be  printed  and  no  politicians  to  have  organs,  however,  even 
prompt  payment  of  subscription  and  advertising  accounts 
would  hardly  have  kept  the  papers  alive,  or  have  brought 
about  the  somewhat  surprising  fact  that  in  the  first  decade 
no  Illinois  paper  died  through  lack  of  support. 

The  climax  of  this  first  period  was  reached  in  the  con- 
vention campaign  which  began  in  February,  1823,  and  ended 
on  the  first  Monday  in  August,  1824.  The  newspapers  had 
a  more  important  place  in  that  contest  than  in  any  other 
important  political  event  in  Illinois.  They  were  owned  or 
controlled  by  leaders  in  the  fray,  and  in  the  columns  of  the 
few  that  are  left  one  can  follow  the  shifts  of  ownership  and 
editorship,  the  shading  off  or  brightening  up  of  this  or  that 
aspect  of  the  main  question  or  of  contributory  questions, 
can  catch  the  tense  earnestness  of  spirit  with  which  the  oppo- 
nents struggled,  and  get  much  of  the  violence  of  invective 
and  abuse  which  one  finds  nowadays  nowhere  except  in  a 
municipal  campaign. 

From  the  beginning  until  well  on  in  1822  the  papers  were 
divided  mainly  on  local  issues  and  on  men.  The  slavery 
question  was  already  looming,  but  not  large,  though  there 
had  been  more  or  less  discontent  ever  since  the  passage  of 
the  Missouri  Compromise,  and  the  parties  to  the  coming 
struggle  were  becoming  defined.  "The  anti-convention 
party,"  says  Governor  Ford,27.  .  .  "established  news-

papers  to  oppose  the  convention;  one  at  Shawneetown, 
edited  by  Henry  Eddy;  one  at  Edwardsville,  edited  by 
Hooper  Warren,  with  Gov.  Coles,  Thomas  Lippincott, 
George  Churchill,  and  Judge  Lockwood,  for  its  principal 
contributors;  and  finally,  one  at  Vandalia,  edited  by  David 
Blackwell,  the  Secretary  of  State.  The  slave  party  had 
established  a  newspaper  at  Kaskaskia,  under  the  direction 
of  Mr.  Kane  and  Chief  Justice  Reynolds;  and  one  at  Ed- 
wardsville edited  by  Judge  Smith;  and  both  parties  pre- 
pared to  appeal  to  the  interests,  the  passions,  and  the  intelli- 
gence of  the  people.  The  contest  was  mixed  up  with  much 
personal  abuse;  and  now  was  poured  forth  a  perfect  lava 
of  detraction,  which,  if  it  were  not  for  the  knowledge  of  the 
people  that  such  matters  are  generally  false  or  greatly  exag- 
gerated, would  have  overwhelmed  and  consumed  all  men's 
reputations  .  .  .  The  whole  people,  for  the  space  of 
eighteen  months,  did  scarcely  anything  but  read  newspapers, 
handbills  and  pamphlets,  quarrel,  argue,  and  wrangle  with 
each  other."  It  is  a  source  of  wonder  that  long  after  these 
events  had  passed  Governor  Ford  could  record  that  but  one 
duel  had  been  fought  in  Illinois.28 

The  Edwardsville  Spectator  was  the  first  paper  in  the 
state  to  come  out  against  slavery  in  Illinois,  and  to  oppose 
all  measures  and  men  that  seemed  to  favor  a  change 
in  the  direction  of  slavery.  The  paper  was  probably  con- 
trolled by  Ninian  Edwards;  it  was  the  mouthpiece  of  a 
coterie  of  strong  men,  and  under  Hooper  Warren's  editorship 
it  pursued  a  steady  and  consistent  policy  that  made  it  the 
most  influential  paper  in  the  state.  Until  early  in  1824  it 
was  alone  in  its  opposition  to  any  encroachments  of  slavery 
interests.  Other  papers  were  less  stable,  shifted  policies,  and

until  late  in  the  campaign  did  not  assume  the  positions 
which  they  were  in  at  the  close.29 

The  Illinois  Gazette  favored  the  convention,  but  was  so 
near  the  fence,  and  gave  space  to  such  free  discussion  of  both 
sides,  that  writers  on  this  bit  of  Illinois  history  have  given 
accounts  of  its  position  in  direct  conflict  with  each  other. 
A  somewhat  extended  statement  of  the  paper's  position  is 
given  here  in  an  effort  to  settle  the  question.  Governor  Ford 
has  said  that  the  Gazette  was  against  the  convention;  Gov- 
ernor Coles,  that  it  was  for  it.30  These  two  authorities  have 
been  the  source  of  endless  conflicting  statements,  and  other 
contemporary  writers,  like  Hooper  Warren  and  George 
Flower,  have  contributed.  In  his  History  of  the  English 
Settlement  in  Edwards  County,  Flower  asserts,  and  offers 
substantial  proof,  that  the  paper  was  pro-convention,  while 
the  editor,  E.  B.  Washburne,  furnishes  the  information  in 
a  foot-note,  that  Eddy,  editor  of  the  Gazette,  was  against 
the  convention. 

Henry  Eddy  and  A.  W.  Kimmel  conducted  the  Gazette 
until  May  22,  1820,  when  their  partnership  was  dissolved 
and  James  Hall  became  Eddy's  partner  and  the  editor. 
Hall  at  once  acknowledged  his  ignorance  of  Illinois  politics 
and  chose  a  neutral  course  for  his  paper.  This  course  he 
reaffirmed,  when,  in  printing  a  letter  from  Daniel  P.  Cook 
relative  to  some  political  charges,  Hall  said  editorially,  "We 

29  As  late  as  April  22,  1823,  Governor  Coles  wrote  to  Nicholas  Biddle  his  belief 
that  the  Kaskaslua  Republican  would  stand  against  the  convention.     Ten  days 
earlier  he  had  written  to  Richard  Flower  and  Morris  Birkbeck  suggesting  that  they 
take  the  initiative  in  starting  an  anti-convention  paper  at  Albion.     See  Washburne, 
Sketch  of  Governor  Coles. 

30  "  Unfortunately  for  the  friends  of  freedom,  four  out  of  five  of  the  newspapers 
printed  in  this  state  are  opposed  to  them;   and  the  only  press  whose  editor  is  in 
favor  of  freedom,  although  a  pretty  smart  editor,  has  rendered  himself  unpopular 
with  many  of  his  foolish  and  passionate  attacks  upon  many  prominent  men  on  his 
side  of  the  question."     Coles  to  Biddle,  September  18,   1823.     In  Washburne

wish  it  to  be  distinctly  understood  that  we  have  not  forsaken 
the  neutral  ground  which  we  have  thought  proper  to  assume 
with  regard  to  the  ensuing  election.  Our  columns  are  open 
to*  all  communications  temperately  written,  to  which  the 
authors  place  their  names,  or  for  which  they  are  willing  to 
be  accountable.  This  is  the  only  course  which,  situated  as 
we  are,  completely  in  the  dark  with  regard  to  the  state  of 
parties,  and  the  merits  of  candidates,  we  could  with  any 
degree  of  propriety  pursue."  This  position  Hall  held  con- 
sistently for  nearly  two  years,  although  he  was  suspected  of 
sympathy  with  the  advocates  of  slavery  extension.  Hooper 
Warren  accused  him  of  such  sympathy  in  1820  because  of  an 
editorial  in  which  Hall  suggested  a  disparity  between  Illinois 
and  the  states  of  Kentucky  and  Missouri,  caused  by  the 
great  advantage  which  the  last  two  had  over  the  first  from 
the  privilege  of  holding  slaves.  Hall  denied  that  what  he 
said  referred  in  any  way  to  the  political  situation  in  Illinois, 
or  that  it  was  meant,  as  Warren  charged,  to  favor  the  election 
of  E.  K.  Kane.31  Two  weeks  later,82  in  printing  a  letter 
from  Morris  Birkbeck  who  uttered  a  word  of  warning  to  his 
fellow-citizens  lest  they  elect  pro-slavery  officials,  Hall  de- 
plored the  fact  that  the  question  of  slavery  should  be  brought 
up.  "From  this  state,"  he  said,  "it  [slavery]  is  excluded; 
it  cannot  now  be  introduced;  and  were  an  attempt  to  be 
made  for  that  purpose  we  should  be  among  the  first  to  oppose 
so  material  a  change  in  our  constitution."  A  change  of 
attitude  is  hardly  concealed  in  the  following,  however: 
April  6,  1822,  a  communication  appeared  announcing  that 
the  subject  of  the  introduction  of  slaves  into  Illinois  was  in 
agitation  in  Union  and  Jackson  counties.  "Great  exer-

tions,"  said  the  editor,  "will,  in  all  probability,  be  used  to 
procure  a  call  for  a  convention  to  reconsider  the  important 
provision,  in  our  constitution,  against  slavery.  .  .  .  Good 
cause  must  be  shown  before  the  people  will  consent  to  a 
proposition  so  pointedly  opposed  to  their  former  sentiments. 
Let  those  who  advocate  the  measure  exhibit  their  manifesto, 
that  the  people  'may  the  better  judge.'  Our  Gazette  is  at  the 
service  of  all  who  choose  to  make  it  the  medium  of  temperate 
discussion,  on  this  or  any  other  subject,  except  such  as  in- 
volve the  deadly  rancour  of  political  parties  and  partisans, 
or  the  more  baneful  and  unforgiving  hate  of  theological 
dogma.  At  present  we  shall  take  no  part  in  the  slave 
question,  reserving  the  right  to  enter  the  lists  at  a  future 
opportunity,  should  we  so  determine." 

Six  months  later  Hall  became  involved  in  an  acrimonious 
political  dispute  with  Daniel  P.  Cook,  who  was  a  close 
political  friend  of  Eddy,  and  a  schism  arose  which  resulted 
in  the  dissolution  of  the  partnership  of  Hall  and  Eddy  in 
November.  No  matter  touching  on  slavery  appeared  until 
March,  when  an  account  of  a  meeting  held  at  Jonesboro 
told  that  Alexander  P.  Field  introduced  a  resolution  which 
proposed  an  effort  to  elect  members  of  the  legislature  who 
would  recommend  a  convention  for  altering  and  amending 
the  constitution.  There  was  no  editorial  comment,  and  no 
mention  of  slavery.  On  March  8,  Eddy  strongly  repro- 
bated the  seating  of  Shaw,  but,  unlike  Berry,  made  no 
reference  to  slavery.  Berry's  "  Extraordinary  Legislative 
Proceedings"33  was  reprinted  from  the  Illinois  Intelligencer 
without  criticism.  From  March,  1823,  until  August,  1824, 
the  columns  of  the  Gazette  were  crowded  with  communica- 
tions on  the  convention  and  the  slavery  questions.  In  that

period  Birkbeck's  Jonathan  Freeman  letters  were  printed 
and  other  articles  on  the  same  side.  No  one  of  these  was 
left  unanswered  by  the  opponents,  but  the  paper  kept  almost 
clear  of  the  controversy,  only  once  venturing  to  express  the 
prevailing  opinion  of  that  part  of  the  state.  In  the  following 
editorial,  printed  June  14,  1823,  the  Gazette,  according  to 
George  Flower,  "showed  the  cloven  hoof". 

"The  vote  of  the  last  legislature,  recommending  the  case 
of  a  new  convention,  seems  to  have  produced  a  good  deal  of 
excitement  in  the  western  part  of  the  state,  and  to  have  called 
forth  already  some  pretty  warm  discussion.  In  this  quarter, 
as  yet,  we  have  heard  but  little  said  on  the  subject,  owing 
probably  to  the  great  degree  of  unanimity  which  prevails  in 
favor  of  the  measure.  The  people  in  this  part  of  the  state 
(in  this  and  adjoining  counties  particularly)  have  too  great 
an  interest  at  stake  in  keeping  up  the  manufacture  of  salt 
at  the  saline,  to  be  easily  diverted  from  the  course  they  intend 
to  pursue  by  making  the  question  turn  upon  the  propriety 
or  impropriety  of  introducing  negro  slavery.  They  aie 
persuaded  that  unless  the  time  can  be  enlarged,  during  which 
the  slaves  of  the  neighboring  states  can  be  hired  to  labor  at 
the  furnaces,  the  works,  after  the  year  1824,  must  be  aban- 
doned, and  this  main  source  of  revenue  to  the  state  be  lost; 
besides  all  the  advantages  which  they  individually  derive 
from  the  market,  which,  when  in  operation,  those  works 
create.  The  people  in  this  part  also,  in  common  with  others 
in  all  parts  of  the  state,  desire  an  amendment  of  the  con- 
stitution in  other  particulars  wherein  it  has  been  found 
defective,  and  many  (we  are  far  from  concealing  it)  are  in 
favor  of  the  introduction  of  slavery,  either  absolute,  as  it 
exists  at  present  in  the  slave-holding  states,  or  in  a  limited 
degree  —  that  is  to  say,  to  exist  until  the  children  born  after

its  admission  shall  arrive  at  a  certain  age,  to  be  fixed  by  the 
constitution."34 

When  Coles  secured  control  of  the  Intelligencer,  the  Ga- 
zette remarked,  "Notwithstanding  we  have  a  high  respect 
for  the  former  editors,  and  the  manner  in  which  they  executed 
their  editorial  functions,  we  cannot  but  hope  that  the  Intelli- 
gencer will  henceforth  be  conducted  in  a  course,  so  as  not  to 
warrant  any  person  in  saying  it  disgusts  the  community."35 
The  situation  is  most  clearly  revealed  in  one  sentence  printed 
August  7.  The  Gazette  had  vigorously  supported  Cook  as 
candidate  for  Congress  in  opposition  to  Bond,  although 
Cook  was  a  strong  anti-slavery  man.  No  doubt  the  enmity 
which  Eddy  incurred  by  doing  all  in  his  power  to  defeat  the 
pro-slavery  Bond  caused  many  supporters  of  the  convention 
to  regard  Eddy  as  opposed  to  them  on  that  proposition  also. 
But  that  his  loyalty  to  Cook  in  no  wise  influenced  his  sym- 
pathy for  the  convention  is  fairly  indicated  in  his  remark  of 
August  7:  "The  convention  question  is  lost  —  principally, 
we  believe,  from  the  effort  made  by  Governor  Bond's  friends 
to  force  him  upon  its  supporters,  against  the  declared  prefer- 
ence of  Mr.  Cook." 

It  is  clear  from  the  pages  of  the  paper  itself  that  the 
Gazette  favored  the  convention.  But  it  is  more  obvious  that 
Eddy  opened  his  columns  freely  to  both  parties  in  the  dis- 
cussion, that  he  was  as  nearly  non-committal  as  an  editor 
well  could  be,  and  that  his  course  was  in  striking  contrast 
with  that  of  Hooper  Warren  and  his  Spectator  on  one  hand, 
and  Theophilus  Smith  and  the  Illinois  Republican  on  the 
other.

INTRODUCTION  xlvii 

The  Illinois  Intelligencer,  before  the  beginning  of  the 
fight,  was  inclined  to  ignore  the  slavery  question ;  its  owners 
up  to  February  15,  1823,  Wm.  H.  Brown  and  William 
Berry,  were  on  opposite  sides.  In  the  number  for  February 
15,  however,  there  appeared  a  scathing  editorial,  entitled 
"Extraordinary  Legislative  Proceedings,"  denouncing  the 
legislature  38  for  its  playing  fast  and  loose  with  the  Pike 
County  members  in  order  to  gain  the  one  vote  necessary  to 
call  for  a  ballot  on  the  convention.  To  this  editorial  Wil- 
liam Berry  appended  a  note.  "The  above  'extraordinary 
legislative  proceedings'  have  been  published  by  my  partner, 
Wm.  H.  Brown,  Esq.,  without  my  approbation,  and  shall 
be  answered  next  week."  In  the  issue  for  the  next  week 
Robert  Blackwell's  name  replaced  Brown's,  and  signed  edi- 
torials from  all  three  participants  set  forth  their  respective 
views.  Under  Blackwell  and  Berry  the  paper  was  less 
partizan,  but  was  friendly  to  the  convention  faction.37 

At  some  time  between  March  19  and  May  7,  1824,  Berry 
disposed  of  his  interest  nominally  to  David  Blackwell, 

39  This  editorial  brought  about  the  only  threat  I  have  found  of  legislative  action, 
and  the  first  instance  of  mob  menace,  against  an  Illinois  newspaper.  On  Monday, 
February  17,  1823,  Mr.  Field,  of  Union  County,  moved  the  adoption  of  the  following 
resolution:  "That  the  Editors  of  the  Illinois  Intelligencer  be  requested  forthwith 
to  inform  this  House  who  is  the  author  of  a  piece  which  appeared  in  their  last 
paper,  signed  A,  B.  and  which  charges  the  Legislature  with  corruption  and  dis- 
honesty." The  resolution  passed,  and  there  the  matter  ended.  Public  feeling 
outside  of  the  legislature  was  so  much  aroused  that  a  mob  collected  in  front  of  the 
office  of  the  newspaper  and  threatened  to  destroy  the  press  and  other  equipment. 
But  this  demonstration  proceeded  no  further  toward  results  than  the  legislature 
itself  had  gone. 

87  James  H.  Perkins,  Annals  of  the  West,  appendix,  792-793,  says:  "The  paper 
(at  Vandalia)  that  performed  the  public  printing,  was  the  strong  garrison  (of  the 
convention  party  in  December,  1823).  On  the  morning  of  the  meeting  of  the  con- 
vention party  leaders  this  citadel  surrendered  to  their  opponents,  hoisted  the  anti- 
convention  flag,  and  prepared  to  pour  grapeshot  into  their  ranks.  .  .  .  Governor 
Coles  had  purchased  an  interest  in  the  press;  David  Blackwell,  Esq.,  of  Belleville, 
had  been  appointed  secretary  of  state,  to  fill  a  vacancy  and  conduct  the  paper  as 
editor." 

This  is  inaccurate.  David  Blackwell  did  not  become  editor  until  after  March, 
1824.

though  Governor  Coles  was  the  real  buyer.38  With  this 
change  the  Intelligencer  became  an  active  opponent  of  the 
convention;  David  Blackwell  in  his  " prospectus,"  printed 
May  14,  asserted  that  he  would  give  his  uniform  opposition 
to  the  convention.  And  he  did  so. 

The  Illinois  Republican  and  the  Republican  Advocat 
(later  the  Kaskaskia  Republican)  were  less  permanent  ele 
ments  in  the  early  newspaper  field,  and  did  little  more  tl 
contribute  to  the  campaign  discussions  of  1823-24.     The 
Illinois  Republican  at  Edwardsville  was  established  by 
Pennsylvanian  named  Miller,  and  his  son.     Their  coming 
was  opportune;   a  paper  to  oppose  the  Spectator  was  mucl 
desired,  and  a  group  of  citizens,  including  Theophilus  W. 
Smith,  furnished  some  necessary  money  to  aid  the  under- 
taking.    From  the  beginning  the  paper  favored  the  pro- 
slavery  party;    when  the  convention  campaign  opened,  it 
passed  into  the  hands  of  Thomas  J.  McGuire  and  Company, 
and  became  the  organ  of  the  convention  party,39  with  Smitl 
as  virtual  editor,  aided  by  William  Kinney,  West,  and  others. 
Smith  was  a  smooth,  graceful,  and  plausible  writer.     His 
articles  were  polished  and  of  considerable  literary  merit,  but 
he  was  not  the  equal  of  his  rival,  Hooper  Warren.     No  othei 
papers  in  the  campaign  fought  at  such  close  quarters,  01 
with  such  direct  personal  animosity  and  bitterness  as  these 
two  at  Edwardsville.     Yet  the  editors  went  only  once  out- 
side of  their  editorial  columns  and  their  offices  to  flay  theii 
opponents.     Their  pens  were  facile  and  forcible. 

The  Republican  Advocate  was  established  at  Kaskaskic 
by  Elias  Kent  Kane  and  Governor  Reynolds,  at  first  undei

the  nominal  editorship  of  Robert  K.  Fleming,  the  printer; 
in  January,  1824,  in  the  heat  of  the  campaign  in  which  the 
paper  supported  the  convention  party,  it  was  transferred  to 
William  Orr.  Orr  renamed  it  Kaskaskia  Republican  in 
March,  1824,  and  continued  the  paper  until  early  in  1825, 
but  the  collapse  of  his  cause  deprived  him  of  most  of  his 
support.  In  reviving  his  journal  in  1826  under  the  title  of 
Illinois  Reporter,  Orr  remarked  philosophically  that  he  had 
been  "taught  by  experience  that  his  course  in  the  political 
field  should  not  be  permitted  to  transcend  the  limits  of 
temperate  remark,"  and  added,  with  something  further  of 
philosophy,  that  "extreme  violence  in  political  discussions, 
or  unrestrained  vituperation  of  those  with  whom  we  cannot 
coincide  in  matters  of  opinion,  should  not  be  indulged  in." 

How  much  the  newspapers  affected  the  results  of  the 
campaign  can  hardly  be  estimated.  Two  out  of  the  five 
were  against  the  convention,  and  the  convention  was  de- 
feated ;  but  in  three  of  the  four  counties  in  which  the  papers 
were  published,  the  convention  faction  won.  St.  Clair 
County  voted  against  the  convention,  506  to  408,  and  the 
result  has  been  credited  very  largely  to  the  vigorous  efforts 
of  the  Spectator;  Fayette  County  returned  125  for  to  121 
against;  in  Gallatin,  where  Eddy  made  his  timid  stand, 
597  for  to  133  against  showed  the  temper  of  the  southeast 
section  of  the  state;  in  Randolph  357  were  for  and  284 
against  the  proposal. 

The  engine  of  the  press  finished  the  first  period  of  its 
career  under  forced  draft  and  high  pressure,  as  it  were.  In 
the  columns  of  these  pioneer  papers  the  early  life  of  the  state 
lies  revealed  frankly  and  realistically.  The  editors  or 
contributors  included  nearly  all  the  leaders  in  public  life, 
and  like  the  leaders,  the  papers  were  strongly  partizan. 


1  ILLINOIS  HISTORICAL  COLLECTIONS 

But  the  partizanship  was  obvious  and  sincere;  the  earnest- 
ness with  which  either  party  advocated  its  cause  is  still 
refreshing;  and  in  this  earnestness  with  which  the  charge 
was  made  and  repulsed  and  the  countercharge  brought  forth, 
there  are  the  simplicity  and  the  strength  of  the  pioneers  of 
a  great  commonwealth.  When  the  campaign  was  over  the 
papers  lost  their  strongest  writers  and  much  of  their  patron- 
age. One  was  discontinued;  the  others  entered  the  next 
period  weakened  in  character  and  in  influence. 

FROM  1824  TO  1840 

The  period  from  1824  to  1840,  although  somewhat  arbi- 
trarily limited,  extends  from  the  great  convention  contest  to 
the  most  exciting  presidential  campaign,  relative  to  news- 
paper activity,  before  1860.  It  is  also  a  formative  period, 
in  which  almost  every  subsequent  phenomenon  of  increase, 
congregation,  and  distribution  of  population  was  begun  or 
indicated ;  and  in  which  several  types  of  periodicals  were 
introduced. 

In  1824  nearly  the  whole  of  the  northern  two-thirds  of  the 
state  was  included  in  five  counties.  The  military  bounty 
land  tract  was  divided  between  Pike  and  Fulton ;  Sangamon, 
Fayette,  and  Edgar  included  their  present  territories  and  all 
that  part  of  the  state  to  the  north  of  them  and  south  of  the 
Illinois  river  and  the  lower  edge  of  Lake  Michigan.  By 
1840,  though  fifteen  counties  were  set  apart  subsequently, 
the  county  organization  was  practically  what  it  is  to- 
day.40 

The  chief  movement  of  population  in  the  early  part  of 
the  period  was  the  rapid  peopling  of  the  valley  of  the  Illinois 
river,  of  the  prairies  of  the  central  part  of  the  state,  and  of

the  Fever  river  lead  region  in  the  vicinity  of  Galena.41  The 
greatest  immigration  into  Central  Illinois  occurred  in  1827 
and  1828;  from  the  end  of  the  Black  Hawk  War  until  the 
financial  disturbances  in  1837  there  was  rapid  growth  along 
the  Illinois  river.  Springfield,  which  was  established  in  18 19, 
had  a  population  numbering  between  six  hundred  and  eight 
hundred  in  1830;  Jacksonville  was  of  about  the  same  size. 
The  population  of  Sangamon  County  at  that  time  was  over 
forty-two  thousand;  that  of  the  military  tract  was  about 
thirteen  thousand;  Adams  County  was  the  most  thickly 
settled  district  in  that  now  populous  area,  and  Quincy, 
the  county  town,  contained  perhaps  two  hundred  persons. 
Peoria,  whose  first  permanent  settlers  arrived  in  1819, 
grew  with  great  rapidity.  Peoria  County  had  been  organ- 
ized in  1825  with  a  population  of  twelve  hundred  thirty- 
six;  Galena  counted  a  population  of  about  two  thousand, 
and  the  county  more  than  twice  that  number.  After  1834 
the  objective  point  for  immigrants  to  Illinois  was  Chicago, 
where  many  stayed,  and  from  which  point  the  whole  northern 
part  of  the  state  was  peopled.  This  movement  was  checked 
by  the  financial  depression  beginning  in  1837,  but  revived 
again  in  1842. 

Transportation  facilities  improved  rapidly.  Steam  navi- 
gation on  the  Illinois  river  began  in  1828,  and  on  Lake  Michi- 
gan in  1832.  By  1830  nearly  every  important  point  in  Illi- 
nois could  be  reached  in  a  reasonably  short  time,  since  steam- 
boats departed  almost  daily  for  all  Illinois  points  along  the 
Mississippi,  and  others  plied  up  and  down  the  Illinois. 

41  In  the  fall  of  1825  the  Western  Emporium,  published  at  Centerville,  Indiana, 
estimated  that  between  one  hundred  and  one  hundred  twenty  wagons  loaded  with 
families  and  effects  passed  through  that  town  in  fifteen  days  on  their  way  to  Illinois, 
chiefly  to  the  northern  parts.  It  believed  that  as  many  more  had  passed  through 
Brooksville,  Lawrenceburg,  etc. 


Hi  ILLINOIS  HISTORICAL  COLLECTIONS 

Roads,  also,  were  improved  and  extended.42  In  1824  a  stage 
line  led  from  St.  Louis  to  Vincennes;43  by  1830  trips  were 
made  three  times  a  week  over  this  route,  touching  Belleville, 
Lebanon,  Carlyle,  Maysville,  and  Lawrenceville.44  A  stage 
went  once  a  week  from  St.  Louis  to  Vandalia  by  way  of 
Edwardsville  and  Greenville;  and  once  a  week  to  Galena 
by  way  of  Edwardsville,  Springfield,  and  Peoria.  In  1836 
a  line  of  wagons  was  established  between  Chicago  and  Kan- 
kakee,  where  connection  was  made  for  the  Illinois  river; 
three  years  later  a  stage  line  operating  between  Chicago  and 
Galena  made  the  trip  in  two  days. 

Four  newspapers  survived  the  convention  campaign,  to 
connect  the  preceding  with  the  period  now  being  considered. 
To  these  were  added  one  hundred  and  fifteen  new  journal- 
istic ventures,  and  thirty-one  others  that  belong  to  a  most 
difficult  class,  based  on  a  sort  of  incorporeal  hereditament; 
papers  with  new  names  or  old  names,  but  related  more  or 
less  mythically  with  preceding  publications.  An  attempt 
to  follow  the  wandering  titles  and  peripatetic  subscription 
lists  of  many  of  these  early  papers  carries  the  investigator 
too  near  the  psychical  for  any  practical  purposes  of  record. 
However,  of  these  one  hundred  and  sixty  that  had  exist- 
ence in  these  sixteen  years,  but  fifty-two  remained  for  the 
census  enumerator  in  1840,  several  of  which  were  but 
temporary  campaign  sheets.45 

42  The  General  Assembly  in  1830  passed  many  laws  establishing  new  roads, 
and  shortening  and  improving  others.     Some  of  the  more  important  highways 
authorized  at  that  session  were:   One  from  the  west  bank  of  the  Wabash  opposite 
Vincennes,  to  Chicago,  through  Palestine,  York,  Darwin,  Paris,  and  Danville; 
one  from  Springfield  to  Rock  Island  via  Sangamontown,  New  Salem,  Miller's 
Ferry,  Havana,  and  Lewiston;  one  from  Pekin  to  Vermillion  County;  and  one  from 
Alton  to  Galena,via  Carrollton,  Whitehall,  Jacksonville,  Bairdstown  (sic),  Rushville 
and  Macomb.

INTRODUCTION  liii 

The  geographical  distribution  of  the  papers  established 
in  this  period  is  of  much  significance.  Whereas  in  the  first 
decade  no  paper  was  projected  in  territory  farther  to  the 
north  than  Vandalia,  two  years  later  the  Miner's  Journal 
appeared  at  Galena,  two  hundred  miles  northward;  in  the 
next  year  the  Sangamo  Spectator  was  established  at  Spring- 
field; Jacksonville  followed  in  1830  with  the  Western 
Observer,  Alton  in  1832  with  the  Spectator,  and  Chicago 
with  the  Democrat  in  1833.  Add  to  these  the  Chronicle  and 
Bounty  Land  Advertiser,  begun  at  Beardstown  in  1833,  the 
Enquirer,  set  up  in  the  same  year  at  Danville,  on  the  eastern 
edge  of  the  central  belt  of  the  state,  the  Illinois  Champion 
and  Peoria  Herald  in  the  north  central  section,  1834,  and 
the  Bounty  Land  Register,  begun  in  1835  at  Qumc7>  on  tne 
extreme  western  side,  and  the  limits  of  distribution  have 
been  reached.  What  remained  now  was  but  the  filling  in  of 
the  spaces  between  these  remote  points,  and  much  of  this  was 
accomplished  within  the  period. 

The  filling-in  process  was  urged  to  abnormal  activity  by 
the  grand  internal  improvement  scheme.  No  fewer  than 
nineteen  newspapers  were  established  in  towns  along  the 
Illinois  river  and  the  canal  route,  including  Alton  and  ex- 
cluding Chicago,  between  1836  and  1840.  But  as  no  part 
of  the  state  was  left  out  of  this  comprehensive  scheme,  papers 
grew,  declined,  and  died  in  all  parts  of  the  state.  Yet  aside 
from  the  impetus  of  the  improvement  scheme  there  was  the 
spirit  of  the  time  that  made  for  recklessness.  Immigration 
and  speculation  were  abnormally  augmented,  settlers  were 
pouring  into  the  state,  town  sites  were  being  laid  out  on  all 
sorts  of  theories  of  future  development.  A  contemporary 
editor  has  given  an  explanation  of  the  newspaper  situation 
that  doubtless  is  true.

"The  establishment  of  newspapers  appears  to  be  a  lead- 
ing characteristic  of  the  present  age.  So  great  is  the  rage 
for  getting  up  papers,  that  the  patronage  necessary  for  their 
maintenance  is  thought  a  secondary  consideration,  if,  indeed, 
it  is  not  deemed  of  too  little  consequence  to  elicit  even  a 
passing  enquiry.  Is  there  a  town  or  city  in  embryo,  with 
its  plat  designated,  its  streets  and  alleys,  and  public  grounds 
marked  out,  having  within  its  bounds  some  half  a  dozen 
houses,  a  tavern,  a  store,  and  a  blacksmith  shop  ? —  its 
crowded  population  and  wealth  and  greatness  are  seen  in 
perspective,  and  a  press  is  wanted,  the  sacrifice  of  some  poor 
printer  is  demanded,  to  magnify  its  beauties,  extenuate  its 
faults,  transform  its  very  evils  into  blessings,  and  give 
assurance  to  the  world  of,  not  what  it  is,  but  what  it  is  to  be. 
Is  there  a  little  village,  with  its  political  parties  or  factions  in 
array  ? —  the  one  must  have  its  paper  to  promulgate  its 
doctrines  and  vindicate  its  rights;  and  anon  the  opposing 
party,  having  in  their  imagination  great  principles  and  im- 
portant interests  at  stake,  must  also  have  its  organ  through 
which  it  can  be  heard,  that  the  encroachments  of  contending 
power  may  be  stayed.  Is  there  a  wealthy  and  ambitious 
demagogue,  grasping  for  office  as  the  only  means  of  obtain- 
ing a  short-lived  and  perchance  an  unenviable  distinction? 
-  the  press  is  the  great  lever  by  which  he  is  to  consummate 
his  wishes.  Is  there  a  lawyer,  brief  in  years,  brief  in  legal 
acquirements,  with  professional  prospects  briefless,  the  press 
is  the  fulcrum  upon  which  his  last  hope  for  political  prefer- 
ment is  based  —  the  all-powerful  engine  by  which  he  is  to 
elevate  himself  to  the  summit  of  his  imaginary  glory,  to  the 
highest  goal  of  his  ambitions, —  and  straight  the  learned

sibylline  gravity  utters  forth  his  oracles  of  political  wisdom 
to  a  benighted  world."46 

The  presidential  campaign  of  1840  brought  into  being 
a  large  number  of  papers.  Of  the  seventeen  established  in 
1839,  six  may  reasonably  be  considered  campaign  ephemera, 
which  were  discontinued  in  1840  or  1841,  or,  finding  evidence 
of  permanent  support,  changed  their  titles  to  indicate  their 
altered  character.  In  1840  such  papers  as  Sucker,  Spirit  of 
'76,  Sovereign  People,  Illinois  Free  Trader,  Old  Hickory, 
and  Old  Soldier  were  started  merely  as  campaign  sheets; 
and  there  were  at  least  twelve  others  primarily  of  the  same 
character.  Sixteen  of  the  thirty  new  or  refurbished  down- 
state  papers  established  in  1840  ended  with  the  campaign 
or  within  the  following  year. 

In  tone  the  papers  were  not  materially  different  from 
those  of  the  preceding  period.  There  were,  to  be  sure,  a 
good  many  very  poor  sheets,  of  a  colorless,  neutral  tone,  the 
forerunners  of  the  abject  bread-getters,  never  exalted  to  the 
dignity  of  bread-earners,  which  became  widely  prevalent  in 
the  decade  from  1870  to  1880.  But  more  of  the  papers 
were  run  by  men  of  backbone  and  brains  —  proportions 
varying.  Politics  continued  to  be  the  primary  interest,  and 
the  political  tone  was  nothing  softened  since  1824.  No 
presidential  contest  in  Illinois  produced  more  violent  news- 
paper utterances  than  that  of  1840.  It  was  a  campaign 
especially  to  the  taste  of  the  settlers  in  the  young,  crude  state, 
and  the  inhabitants  entered  the  lists  without  reserve,  and 
with  sufficient  vocabularies.  Witness  this  following,  from 

48  Illinois  State  Gazette  &»  Jacksonville  News,  May  9,  1835.  The  promptness 
with  which  newspapers  were  set  up  in  incipient  villages  is  well  illustrated  in  the 
case  of  Grafton.  The  first  settlers  built  their  cabins  in  1832,  streets  were  laid  out 
in  1836,  and  John  Russell  published  the  Backwoodsman  there  in  1837.

The  strong  bias  that  seemed  to  be  demanded  of  the  news-

remarked  the  small  influence  of  American  papers,48  and 
Harriet  Martineau  had  never  heard  any  one  deny  the  prof- 
ligacy of  newspapers  in  general,  or  that  the  American  were 
the  worst.  Why  "the  republic  has  not  been  overthrown  by

Though  the  newspaper  readers  were  few  from  the  point 
of  view  of  an  unsuccessful  editor,  the  ratio  of  newspapers  to 
population  was  large,  as  the  following  table  will  show,  and 
their  influence  was  without  doubt  greater  than  the  dis-

In  the  following  statistical  view  of  the  publishing  in- 
dustry in  the  state  in  1840,  presented  in  the  census  report 
for  that  year,  two  items  require  comment.  The  four  peri- 
odicals assigned  to  Jo  Daviess  County  it  seems  impossible 
to  identify.  There  were  but  two  towns  of  any  consequence 
in  the  county  at  that  time,  and  neither,  so  far  as  available 
materials  show,  supported  a  periodical  other  than  a  news- 
paper. The  same  difficulty  attends  the  daily  paper  in 
Schuyler  County.  Possibly  the  Rushville  Political  Examiner 
was  issued  daily  in  the  heat  of  the  campaign. 

50  These  figures  are  from  Mitchell,  Illinois  in  1837,  and  are  probably  estimated.

Throughout  the  first  half-century  of  our  newspaper 
history  the  weekly  papers  were  all  these  things  to  all  men; 
each  presented  a  symposium  of  politics,  agriculture,  morals, 
mechanics,  science,  and  literature  —  something  to  please 
each  member  of  the  family,  indeed.  But  the  idea  of  special 
types  was  present  very  early,  and  found  concrete  habiliment 
in  several  premature  publications.  As  early  as  1829  a 


INTRODUCTION  lix 

religious  paper  was  started;  in  the  next  year  appeared  an 
agricultural  journal,  the  second  west  of  the  Alleghanies, 
and  a  monthly  literary  magazine.  The  first  harbinger  of 
the  flock  which  was  to  spread  the  Washingtonian  movement 
abroad  in  the  state  came  in  1836;  in  1837  an  educational 
monthly  endured  a  brief  life  of  neglect.  In  the  next  year 
a  paper  was  started  at  Edwardsville  to  promulgate  a  uni- 
versal language.  Finally,  ambitious  Chicago  produced  in 
1839  the  first  daily  paper  in  the  state,  and  in  1840  the  second. 
It  should  be  noted  too,  that  the  two  oldest  papers  in  Illinois 
to-day  look  back  to  this  period  for  their  beginnings.  Most 
of  these  pioneers  in  special  fields  require  here  a  word  of 
comment. 

Religious  journalism,  which  has  been  important  numeri- 
cally since  the  middle  of  this  period,  began  with  the  Pioneer 
of  the  Valley  of  the  Mississippi,  established  at  Rock  Spring 
by  John  Mason  Peck  and  T.  P.  Green,  and  first  issued  on 
April  25,  1829.  It  was  a  private  venture,  and  Baptist. 
Baptist  journalism  in  Illinois  has  been,  from  the  beginning, 
wholly  a  matter  of  private  enterprise  in  contrast  with  that  of 
Ohio  and  Michigan,  among  the  western  states.51  The  idea 
of  the  Pioneer  originated  with  Peck,  who  felt  that  his  Baptist 
seminary,  and  the  state,  needed  the  stimulus  that  a  weekly 
paper  would  give.  He  found  a  Rev.  T.  P.  Green  willing  to 
furnish  half  enough  money  to  start  the  venture,  and  to  act 
as  publisher.  The  rest  of  the  funds  Peck  secured  from 
eastern  Baptists,  who,  no  doubt,  at  Peck's  suggestion,  stipu- 
lated that  half  of  the  profits  should  go  to  the  seminary. 
Peck  was  editor,  and  in  his  travels  solicited  subscriptions. 
But  the  paper  was  a  dead  expense  from  the  beginning;52

the  Rev.  Mr.  Green  soon  starved  out,  and  was  succeeded  by 
a  Mr.  Smith,  son-in-law  of  Mr.  Peck.  In  June,  1836,  the 
office  was  moved  to  Alton,  where  it  was  a  distressing  burden 
to  its  originator  until  January,  1839,  when  it  was  combined 
with  the  Baptist  Banner  of  Louisville,  Kentucky. 

That  an  attempt  was  made  to  establish  a  pretentious 
literary  monthly  in  Illinois  in  1830  provokes  astonishment 
paralleled  only  by  the  wonder  that  the  attempt  was  carried 
two  years  toward  success.  James  Hall,  lawyer,  writer, 
circuit  judge,  state  treasurer,  editor  of  the  Illinois  Emigrant 
from  1820  to  1822,  of  the  Illinois  Intelligencer  from  1829  to 
1832,  trustee  of  Illinois  College,  writer  of  fiction,  literary 
biography,  and  commercial  statistics,  vehement  politician 
and  maker  of  many  enemies  —  this  versatile  Pennsylvanian 
established  the  Illinois  Monthly  Magazine  at  Vandalia, 
October,  1830,  and  published  it  there  for  two  years.  Illinois 
had  been  a  state  but  twelve  years,  and  contained  more  horse- 
thieves  in  the  southern  and  Indians  in  the  northern  sections 
than  litterateurs  in  both.  Yet  here  was  this  hopeful  voice 
calling  out  from  Vandalia  to  the  people  of  Illinois  for  articles 
on  subjects  literary,  scientific,  cultural  —  for  fiction  and  for 
poetry  —  and  for  appreciation  in  coin  of  the  realm.  It  had 
nearly  a  score  of  predecessors  in  the  Ohio  valley,53  including 
The  Medley  (1803),  Western  Review  (1820)  and  Transyl- 
vanian  (1829)  at  Lexington,  Kentucky;  Cincinnati  Literary 
Gazette  (1824),  Western  Monthly  Review  (1828),  Sentinel  and 
Star  in  the  West  (1829),  and  Olio,  at  Cincinnati,  the  western 
publishing  center  of  that  time.  Of  these  predecessors  to 
Hall's  venture,  Olio  (1821-22)  is  of  interest  here  because 
one  of  its  editors  was  Samuel  S.  Brooks,  who  became

INTRODUCTION  bri 

one  of  the  most  active  and  trenchant  of  early  editors  in 
Illinois.  The  greater  age  and  population  of  the  communities 
in  which  these  early  attempts  were  made,  as  compared  with 
the  village  capital  of  Illinois,  make  Hall's  venture  seem  the 
more  hazardous. 

Yet  Hall's  purpose  was  largely  practical.  "The  leading 
features  of  our  humble  attempt,"  the  editor  explained  in  the 
preface  to  his  first  number,  "will  be  to  disseminate  knowl- 
edge, to  cultivate  a  taste  for  letters,  and  to  give  correct  deline- 
ations of  this  country  to  our  distant  friends.  .  .  .  Every 
topic  connected  with  the  arts,  the  industry,  or  the  resources 
of  this  flourishing  state,  or  of  the  western  country,  will  come 
within  the  scope  of  this  work.  .  .  .  But  while  we  propose 
to  give  a  prominent  place  to  the  useful,  it  is  not  our  intention 
to  neglect  the  lighter  and  more  elegant  branches  of  literature. 
Original  tales,  characteristic  of  the  western  people,  are 
promised,  and  we  think  that  our  arrangements  in  this  depart- 
ment are  such,  that  the  lovers  of  ingenious  fiction  will  not 
be  disappointed.  Literary  intelligence  will  form  a  portion 
of  each  number."  Something  further  of  Hall's  ideal  was 
expressed  in  the  seventh  number,  when,  in  the  course  of  an 
article  on  "Periodicals,"  the  editor  wrote,  "Our  editors 
have  become  too  formal,  and  stately,  and  fastidious.  .  .  . 
Instead  of  the  infinite  variety  of  topics,  which  once  gave 
interest  to  works  of  this  description,  nothing  is  now  admitted 
but  reviews,  tales,  and  poetry.  ...  I  am  much  better 
pleased  with  the  good  old-fashioned  magazines  .  .  .  within 
whose  well  furnished  pages,  the  reader,  whatever  might  be 
his  taste,  was  sure  to  find  something  agreeable." 

Such,  indeed,  was  the  character  of  the  Illinois  Monthly 
Magazine,  for  performance  followed  close  on  purpose,  and 
Hall  gathered  in  those  two  ambitious  volumes  a  quantity, 


Ixii  ILLINOIS  HISTORICAL  COLLECTIONS 

quality,  and  variety  of  matter  creditable  indeed.  He  drew 
on  his  own  resources  heavily  —  he  contributed  nearly  one- 
half  of  all  that  he  printed.  And  he  drew  at  the  same  time 
on  all  other  available  resources  in  the  state,  and  soon  ex- 
hausted them. 

The  energetic  citizens  of  Alton,  which  at  that  time  was 
almost  the  equal  of  Chicago  in  population,  furnished  the 
first  organ  of  temperance  reform,  when  on  June  i,  1836,  the 
Illinois  State  Temperance  Society  published  there  the  first 
number  of  the  Illinois  Temperance  Herald.  The  paper 
never  received  from  subscriptions  and  advertisements  a 
support  sufficient  to  maintain  it,  but  the  society  seems  to 
have  had  fairly  ample  funds,  since  for  some  time  as  many  as 
six  thousand  copies  of  the  Herald  were  circulated.54  Fur- 
thermore they  brought  Timothy  Turner,  an  effective  tem- 
perance lecturer,  from  New  York,  and  at  considerable 
expense  secured  A.  W.  Corey  as  editor  of  their  paper.55  The 
burden  became  too  great,  however;  the  Missouri  Society 
was  in  1839  induced  to  share  the  expenses  of  publication, 
and  the  title  of  the  paper  was  altered  to  Missouri  and  Illinois 
Temperance  Herald.  The  words  and  Washingtonian  were 
added  in  1842,  after  which  time  the  paper  did  not  long 
survive. 

Ensley  T.  and  C.  Goudy  began  in  January,  1837,  to 
publish  the  first  educational  journal  in  Illinois,  probably  the 
first  in  the  Mississippi  valley.  It  was  entitled  Common 
School  Advocate,  and  was  issued  monthly.  Only  a  printer

65  Tanner,  supra  cit.,  declared  that  Corey  provoked  heated  opposition  in  St. 
Louis,  especially  by  printing  the  names  of  all  wholesale  grocers  of  that  city  who 
sold  liquors,  and  charging  them  with  participating  in  a  common  crime.  "Many, 
in  their  fury,  would  have  been  glad  to  have  wiped  out  of  existence  not  only  the 
Observer,  but  also  the  Temperance  Herald,  with  their  editors,  printers,  and  offices, 
as  nuisances  in  society." 


INTRODUCTION  Ixiii 

like  Goudy,  who  ventured  and  failed  in  many  journalistic 
undertakings,  would  have  had  the  courage  to  use  labor,  ink, 
and  paper,  even,  in  publishing  a  school  journal  in  Illinois, 
at  that  time.  There  was  no  common  school  system;  there 
were  no  required  qualifications  for  school  teachers;  and 
there  was  a  latent  antagonism  on  the  part  of  a  large  portion 
of  the  populace  to  an  educational  system  which  would  entail 
taxation.56  "We  apprehend,"  said  S.  S.  Brooks,  editor  of 
the  Jacksonville  Gazette  and  News  in  a  notice  of  the  Common 
School  Advocate,  "there  is  not  sufficient  intelligence  among 
the  mass  of  teachers  in  the  state  to  appreciate  the  merits  of 
such  a  work,  nor  interest  enough  taken  by  parents  in  the 
success  of  common  schools,  or  in  the  education  of  their 
children,  to  induce  them  to  extend,  at  the  present  time,  an 
adequate  support  to  the  enterprise."  The  editorial  labor 
was  done  by  "a  few  literary  gentlemen  who,  from  their 
deep  interest  in  this  subject,  generously  volunteered  their 
services  for  one  year  without  remuneration."  Samuel 
Willard  ascribed  the  editorship  to  Rev.  Theron  Baldwin.57 
But  Brooks's  pessimism  seems  to  have  been  warranted,  for 
the  journal  did  not  continue  beyond  the  year.  The  failure  of 
the  Advocate  was  in  keeping  with  the  fate  of  all  educational 
journals,  four  in  number,  which  had  been  established  up  to 
that  time  in  the  United  States.  The  first  was  begun  in  1818 ; 
the  least  unsuccessful  lived  for  ten  years;  others,  four,  two, 
and  one,  respectively.  Considering  the  conditions,  the 
Common  School  Advocate  had  its  due  length  of  life. 

Chicago  had  a  population  of  about  five  hundred  when 
the  first  newspaper  was  set  up  in  it,  and  mail  was  carried  on

a  horse  once  a  week  by  way  of  Niles,  Michigan.  And  it  is 
significant  that  the  first  number  of  this  first  paper  strongly 
urged  "the  commencement  and  completion  of  the  long- 
contemplated  canal  to  connect  the  waters  of  Lake  Michigan 
with  the  Illinois  River."  In  that  year,  1833,  when  the 
Democrat  added  its  voice  to  the  internal  improvement  chorus, 
a  total  of  twenty-eight  voters  elected  the  first  trustees  of  the 
new  town;  and  seven  thousand  Indians  met  thereabouts 
to  sign  a  treaty  ceding  to  the  United  States  all  of  the  terri- 
tory in  northern  Illinois  and  in  Wisconsin.  A  second  paper 
was  established  in  1835,  when  the  population  of  the  town 
was  3,265,  including  a  number  of  Whigs  who  were  not  con- 
tent to  have  their  interests  ignored  by  the  only  paper  in  the 
place.  They  consequently  saw  to  it  that  the  Whig  American 
was  started,  and  this  paper,  on  November  26,  1839,  began 
to  issue  the  first  daily  in  the  state.  Its  rival  .began  a  daily 
in  the  following  year.  Thus  the  dailies  really  began  in  this 
period,  but  discussion  of  them  is  placed  in  the  next,  in  which 
they  became  an  important  feature  of  journalism. 

Although  this  sketch  is  confined  to  affairs  less  widely 
known  than  the  brief  career  of  the  Alton  Observer,  ending 
in  the  death  of  Elijah  P.  Lovejoy,  it  is  perhaps  permissible 
to  recite  briefly  the  events  connected  with  that  fatal  affair, 
since  the  Observer  was  the  first  abolition  paper  in  Illinois. 
Hooper  Warren  contrasts  conditions  in  1837,  when  Lovejoy 
was  killed,  with  those  in  1820,  when  Warren,  unmolested, 
conducted  the  Spectator,  58  suggesting  the  inference  that  the 
two  men  were  preaching  the  same  doctrine.  But  such  an 
inference  is  erroneous.  The  Edwardsville  Spectator  was  not 
an  abolition  paper,  but  an  anti-slavery  paper.  Since  War- 
ren's paper  was  only  anti-slavery,  the  Observer  was  the  first

INTRODUCTION  Ixv 

abolition  paper  in  the  state,  the  first  of  a  considerable  num- 
ber, most  of  which  originated  between  1842  and  i85o.59 

The  Rev.  Elijah  P.  Lovejoy,  who  had  been  forced  to 
leave  St.  Louis  because  of  his  abolitionist  utterances, 
arrived  at  Alton  with  a  press  and  an  intention  to  establish 
a  newspaper,  or  to  conduct  at  that  point  the  one  that  he 
was  not  allowed  to  continue  at  St.  Louis.  Many  citizens 
at  Alton  resented  the  idea  of  an  abolition  paper  in  that  place, 
and  on  the  night  after  the  arrival  of  the  press,  threw  it  into 
the  Mississippi.  At  a  public  meeting  held  on  the  next  day 
Mr.  Lovejoy  assured  that  people  that  they  had  mistaken 
his  motives,  that  he  had  intended  to  establish  a  religious, 
not  an  anti-slavery  newspaper;  he  asserted  his  personal 
antagonism  to  slavery,  but  denied  that  he  was  an  aboli- 
tionist. 

These  statements  were  taken  as  a  pledge  by  those  citizens 
who  felt  that  they  had  a  right  to  receive  in  advance  a  pledge 
as  to  what  kind  of  doctrine  Lovejoy  was  to  print  in  his  news- 
paper. "Upon  this  condition,"  says  Ford,60  "he  was  per- 
mitted to  set  up  the  Alton  Observer  without  opposition." 
The  editor  had  no  idea  of  assenting  to  such  a  condition,  but 
for  some  time  he  conducted  the  Observer  as  a  religious  paper, 
opposed  to  slavery,  but  not  abolition  in  tone.  Gradually 
his  own  views  changed,  however,  and  within  a  year  he  was 
foremost  in  Illinois  abolition  councils.  A  meeting  of  anti- 
abolitionists  resolved  that  Lovejoy  had  broken  his  pledge 
and  was  threatening  the  peace  of  the  community.  A  com- 
mittee impressed  those  resolutions  upon  him,  to  which  he 
answered  with  a  denial  of  having  given  a  pledge,  and  con- 
tended for  right  to  freedom  of  discussion.  To  this  his

critics  replied  on  September  21  by  throwing  his  press  and 
type  into  the  Mississippi.  A  state  anti-slavery  meeting  was 
held  at  Upper  Alton  on  September  27  for  the  purpose  of 
forming  an  anti-slavery  society,  but  as  the  call  included 
all  friends  of  free  discussion,  the  anti-abolitionists  made 
the  meeting  futile.  Another  was  held  on  October  28,  at 
which  it  was  voted  to  order  a  new  press.  News  of  this  act 
brought  on  another  mass  meeting  at  which  was  discussed  not 
the  right  to  require  an  editor  to  promise  in  advance  what  he 
intends  to  say,  but  whether  or  not  he  had  kept  such  a 
promise,  and  what  he  intended  to  do  in  the  future.  Love  joy 
asserted  that  he  would  advocate  what  doctrines  he  wished; 
his  opponents  resolved  that  he  should  not  advocate  abolition. 
With  matters  in  that  posture  the  press  arrived,  and  was 
placed  in  a  warehouse,  where  it  was  guarded  by  Lovejoy 
and  others.  In  an  attack  on  the  warehouse  Lovejoy  and 
one  of  his  opponents  were  killed.  The  press  was  thrown 
into  the  river,  and  the  paper  was  not  again  printed  in  Alton. 
" After  the  violence  of  feeling  had  somewhat  subsided," 
remarks  Ford,61  "both  parties  were  indicted  for  their 
crimes  arising  out  of  these  transactions,  and  all  were  acquit- 
ted; making  it  a  matter  of  record  that  in  fact  the  aboli- 
tionists had  not  provoked  an  assault ;  that  there  had  been  no 
mob;  and  that  no  one  had  been  killed  or  wounded."  This

liam S.  Lincoln,  Alton  Trials,  New  York,  1838;  Rev.  Edward  Beecher,  Narrative 
oj  Riots  at  Alton,  Alton,  1838;  also  Henry  Tanner,  Martyrdom  of  Lovejoy,  Chicago, 
1 88 1.  Harris,  Negro  Servitude  in  Illinois,  68-98,  reviews  the  event  and  its  results, 
giving  on  p.  96  n.  an  incomplete  list  of  papers  which  deplored  the  riot,  and  saying: 
"  In  Illinois  the  effect  of  the  rioting  at  Alton  upon  the  anti-slavery  cause  was  not  at 
once  apparent.  There  was  a  small  public  meeting  in  Chicago,  which  condemned 
the  assault  on  the  warehouse  as  a  blow  at  the  freedom  of  the  press.  This  and  the 
censure  of  a  few  papers  like  the  Peoria  Register  were  the  only  protests  against  the 
outrage.  In  fact,  few  people  in  the  state  cared  to  raise  their  voices  in  condemnation 
of  the  deed  —  such  was  the  disrepute  in  which  the  abolitionists  were  then  held."

verdict  was  reached  in  spite  of  the  fact  that  the  evidence 
showed  that  each  accused  individual  had  been  present  when 
Love  joy  was  killed,  and  that  most  of  them  had  had  weapons 
of  some  sort  in  their  hands.82 

The  Observer  was  not  the  only  paper  suppressed  in  the 
course  of  the  slavery  struggle  in  Illinois,  as  will  appear  in 
another  section;  but  Love  joy  was  the  only  editor  killed  in 
such  affairs,  and  his  death,  more  than  his  or  other  anti- 
slavery  paper,  gave  coherence  and  impetus  to  the  aboli- 
tion movement. 

The  period  ending  in  1840,  with  a  total  of  fifty-three 
papers,  showed  little  development  in  the  character  of  the 
newspapers  of  the  ordinary  type.  They  were  still  strongly 
political  and  partizan;  there  had  been  no  noticeable  im- 
provement in  tone;  no  great  editors  had  appeared,  although 
such  men  as  John  York  Sawyer,  John  Bailhache,  J.  M. 
Peck,  John  Russell,  and  S.  S.  Brooks,  besides  Hooper  War- 
ren and  others  who  had  figured  in  the  previous  period,  raised 
a  part  of  the  press  of  Illinois  well  above  the  level  of  medioc- 
rity. In  the  beginnings  of  religious,  literary,  and  some 
other  special  forms,  indications  of  progress  were  to  be  seen, 
but  the  chief  growth  had  been  numerical  and  geographical. 
Although  many  immigrants  had  come,  and  many  thousands 
of  idle  acres  had  been  tilled,  pioneer  conditions  still  pre- 
vailed, and  nothing  could  have  been  more  uncouth  and 
violent  than  the  newspapers  in  the  campaign  of  1840,  with 
which  this  period  closed. 

FROM  1841  TO  i860 

Three  important  movements  affected  the  character  and 
growth  of  newspapers  in  the  period  from  1840  to  1860.

These  were  the  introduction  of  the  telegraph,  the  coming  of 
the  railroad,  and  the  political  shifts  and  realignments  that 
led  to  the  forming  of  the  Republican  party  organization  in 
Illinois  in  1856,  and  eventually  to  the  nomination  of  Lincoln. 
The  first  two  combined  to  bring  about  a  revolution  in 
economic  conditions  in  the  newspaper  industry;  the  third 
brought  to  a  close  an  epoch  of  political  chaos  among  the 
papers,  and  established  a  pretty  definite  basis  of  classifica- 
tion. There  were  fifty- two  papers  in  the  state  in  1840.  In 
the  score  of  years  following,  a  total  of  seven  hundred  and 
thirty-one  others,  at  least,  were  begun.  In  1860  two  hundred 
and  eighty-six  remained,  showing  a  net  increase  of  two  hun- 
dred thirty-four,  in  spite  of  the  great  mortality. 

The  most  striking  effect  of  the  introduction  of  the  tele- 
graph and  the  railroad  was  that  which  it  had  in  promoting 
the  establishment  and  growth  of  daily  papers.  It  is  a  truism 
well  known  to  newspaper  publishers  that  as  soon  as  the 
population  of  a  town  becomes  large  enough  to  support  one 
daily  journal,  two  are  started.  The  relation  of  popula- 
tion to  the  beginnings  of  Illinois  dailies  is  of  course  not  to 
be  overlooked;  the  other  less  obvious,  but  more  suggestive 
and  almost  equally  important  relation  warrants  consideration. 

The  telegraph  preceded  the  railroad  in  Illinois,  despite 
the  internal  improvement  act  of  1837,  under  which  the  state 
undertook  to  build  about  one  thousand  three  hundred  and 
forty  miles  of  railroad.  As  a  result  of  this  act  a  road  was 
built  eastward  from  Meredosia,  and  the  first  locomotive  in 
the  state  was  put  in  use  November  8, 1838.  The  line  reached 
Springfield  in  1842;  but  the  engines  deteriorated  and  were 
abandoned;  mules  were  substituted;  and  the  whole  prop- 
erty was  sold  in  i847.83  The  real  introduction  of  railroads

came  three  years  later.  The  telegraph  reached  the  state  by 
two  routes  in  the  same  year,  1848;  one  from  Philadelphia, 
Pittsburg,  and  Cincinnati  to  St.  Louis,  touched  at  the 
southern  part  of  the  state ;  the  other  from  New  York,  by  way 
of  Cleveland,  Toledo,  and  Detroit,  tapped  Chicago.  The 
network  of  lines  that  spread  over  the  state  from  1840  to  1850 
was  built  by  Henry  C.  O'Reilly,  as  a  part  of  his  great 
Atlantic  and  Mississippi  lines.64  Starting  from  St.  Louis, 
these  were  extended  to  Alton,  Jacksonville,  Jerseyville, 
Carrollton,  Springfield,  Peoria,  Delavan,  Peru,  Chillicothe, 
Henry,  Ottawa,  Morris,  Lockport,  and  thence  to  Chicago, 
where  connection  was  made  with  the  line  built  by  Ezra 
Cornell  along  the  lakes.  Another  line  from  St.  Louis  con- 
nected Beardstown,  Rushville,  Sterling,  Quincy,  Rock 
Island,  Dixon,  and  Galena,  as  well  as  small  intermediate 
points.65  By  1850  every  important  town  in  Illinois  was  in 
telegraphic  connection  with  Chicago  and  the  eastern  cities, 
and  Chicago  newspapers  regularly  contained  in  brief  form 
the  news  of  the  previous  day  from  all  over  the  east. 

Railroad  construction  in  Illinois  really  began  in  1850,  in 
which  year  a  line  was  put  in  operation  between  Chicago 
and  Elgin;  and  later  continued  to  Freeport.  In  1852  the 
Michigan  Central,  the  first  line  to  connect  Illinois  with  the 
East,  entered  Chicago.  The  work  of  construction  on  the 
Illinois  Central  was  begun  in  1851  and  completed  to  Cairo 
in  1856;  a  line  from  Alton  to  Springfield  was  completed  in 
1853;  and  from  Springfield  to  Joliet  in  1854.  By  1860 
most  of  the  principal  towns  were  to  be  reached  by  railroads. 
The  rapidity  with  which  they  were  built  is  suggested  by  the 
fact  that  in  February,  1852,  there  were  ninety-five  miles  of

road  in  the  state;  two  years  later  there  were  one  thousand 
miles;  at  the  end  of  1855  two  thousand  four  hundred  ten; 
and  in  another  year,  two  thousand  seven  hundred  sixty-one.

INTRODUCTION  Ixxi 

Not  all  these  papers  afford  such  apt  evidence  of  the 
close  relation  of  the  telegraph  to  the  dailies  as  does  the  Peoria 
Register.  That  paper  was  started  on  the  same  day  the 
telegraph  line  was  opened  between  Peoria  and  St.  Louis,  and 
the  first  despatch  between  the  two  towns  was  sent  by  the 
editor  of  the  Register  to  the  editor  of  the  St.  Louis  Repub- 
lican.67 

In  Chicago,  the  first  daily,  the  American,  was  established 
on  April  9,  1839,  the  second  in  1840.  In  the  period  1841- 
1860,  inclusive,  twenty-eight  were  begun,  including  one 
daily  "price  current";  of  these,  ten  were  still  published  in 
1860.  According  to  compilations  made  at  the  various 
dates,  the  number  of  dailies  in  the  state  was: 

1840  Downstate  i  Chicago 2    Total 3 

1850  Downstate  3  Chicago 5    Total 8 

1854  Downstate  13  Chicago 7     Total 20 

1856  Downstate  10  Chicago 7     Total 17 

1860  Downstate  13  Chicago 10    Total 23 

This  was  a  formative  period  of  newspapers,  as  of  politics. 
The  violence  of  party  strife  which  marred  the  newspapers 
before  and  in  the  campaign  of  1840  was  not  soon  mitigated. 
The  Chicago  press  had  shown  as  yet  but  a  few  of  the  qual- 
ities which  were  developed  later.  "It  was  still  in  its  in- 
fancy, and  an  infancy  by  no  means  respectable."  68  In  1848 
John  L.  Scripps  bought  a  third  interest  in  the  Chicago 
Tribune,  and  from  that  date  one  may  fairly  say  that  the 
Chicago  papers  began  to  take  on  something  of  tone  and 
character,  given  to  them  directly  or  indirectly  by  the  dig- 
nified labor  of  Scripps.  He  originated  the  first  distinctive 
review  of  the  markets  of  Chicago;  he  gave  distinction  and 
influence  to  the  editorial,  and  extended  the  scope  of  the  news

service.  In  the  winter  of  1851-1852  the  Whigs  of  Chicago 
had  a  controlling  interest  in  the  Tribune.  Scripps  was  a 
Free-Soiler,  and  something  of  a  Democrat,  so  he  sold  his 
share  in  the  Tribune,  and  with  William  Bross  started  the 
Democratic  Press,  through  which  he  continued  to  act  as  a 
tonic  to  the  press  of  the  city.  The  Democratic  Press  was 
Free-Soil,  but  supported  Douglas  until  the  Kansas-Neb- 
raska question  drove  it,  in  1856,  into  the  Republican 
party,  and  two  years  later,  into  the  Tribune,  which  Charles 
H.  Ray  made,  within  this  period,  the  best  paper  in  Illinois, 
and  which  increased  in  prestige  under  Horace  White  and 
Joseph  Medill,  until  it  ranked  high  in  American  journalism. 

Although  the  press  was  increasing  in  efficiency,  espe- 
cially through  the  establishment  of  such  publications  as  the 
Tribune  and  the  Prairie  Farmer,  and  papers  at  Bloomington, 
Princeton,  Peoria,  Quincy,  and  Belleville,  the  general  tone, 
especially  of  the  political  press,  was  still  in  the  greater  part 
violent  and  partisan.  Amid  the  clatter  of  party  discussions, 
however,  there  arose  early  in  the  period  signs  of  reaction, 
of  protest,  of  a  demand  for  rational  consideration  of  politics 
instead  of  party  affairs.  The  demand  was  neither  wide- 
spread nor  loudly  voiced,  for  the  general  public  was  far 
from  desiring  independent  newspapers  but  individuals,  and 
even  communities,  were  moving  in  that  direction.  At 
Jacksonville,  then  the  most  cultured  community  in  the 
State,  the  Illinoisan  had,  just  before  the  close  of  the  previous 
decade,  shown  better  qualities  than  generally  prevailed, 
but  it  had  passed  to  the  hands  of  William  Hodge  in  the 
early  forties,  and  had  sunk  to  the  common  level.  In  its 
place  there  arose  a  short-lived  but  significant  independent 
paper. 

"At  the  suggestion  of  many  friends,"  Jonathan  Baldwin 


INTRODUCTION  Ixxiii 

Turner  began  on  April  29,  1843,  to  publish  the  Illinois 
Statesman,  and  established  a  fair  claim  to  having  set  up  the 
first  wholly  independent  newspaper  in  Illinois.  So  far  as 
independence  was  concerned,  no  one  in  the  state  was 
better  equipped  than  he.  Of  unusual  natural  ability,  he 
was  well  educated,  strong  minded,  and  absolutely  unafraid 
of  either  men  or  ideas.  When  in  an  early  number  of  his 
paper  he  said,  "It  is  well  known  that  on  many  points,  both 
of  politics  and  morals,  we  disagree  with  all  parties  now 
extant,"  he  made  mild  acknowledgment  of  a  fact  to  which 
every  one  who  knew  him  would  testify.  What  the  States- 
man was  to  strive  for  is  suggested  by  certain  passages  from 
the  prospectus:  "The  present  depression  of  the  public 
mind  is  known  and  felt  by  all.  ...  It  is  believed  that  good 
men  of  all  parties  are  anxious,  candidly  and  earnestly  to 
enquire  for  the  true  causes  and  remedies  of  present  ills, 
and  to  seek  some  sure  foundation  of  future  action  and 
future  hope.  ...  In  a  word,  how  can  we  secure  to  our- 
selves harmony,  peace,  and  prosperity  at  home,  and  re- 
spectability abroad  —  as  a  community,  as  a  state,  and 
as  a  nation?  .  .  .  We  all  know  but  too  well,  that 
speculation,  officeseeking,  demagogues  and  party  spirit, 
have  conspired  to  plunge  us  into  the  gulph.  .  .  .  Hence 
this  paper  can  be  devoted  to  the  interests  of  no  party  what- 
ever, political,  moral,  social,  or  ecclesiastical."  Neither 
was  it  to  attack  any  party,  as  such.  So,  in  the  face  of  a 
generally  expressed  belief,  "that  none  but  a  violent,  factious, 
party  paper  could  be  sustained"  in  Jacksonville,  the  new 
paper  was  begun. 

But  success  was  from  the  first  clearly  impossible.  Turner 
was  a  pamphleteer,  not  a  journalist.  He  had  no  editorial 
experience,  and  little  interest,  even  for  that  day,  in  a  news- 


bcriv  ILLINOIS  HISTORICAL  COLLECTIONS 

paper  for  the  sake  of  news.  Under  the  head  of  "  Crimes  and 
Casualties"  he  printed:89  "Our  paper  is  small,  and  if  our 
readers  will  for  the  present  just  have  the  goodness  to  imagine 
a  certain  due  proportion  of  fires,  tornadoes,  murders,  thefts, 
robberies  and  bully  fights,  from  week  to  week,  it  will  do  just 
as  well,  for  we  can  assure  them  they  actually  take  place." 
Such  a  news  service  would  have  satisfied  Thoreau,  but  did 
not  content  the  subscribers.  On  the  other  hand,  the  edi- 
torial department  was  strong.  The  Quincy  Whig  commented 
facetiously  on  one  of  Mr.  Turner's  thirteen-column  edi- 
torials, and  was  told  in  reply  that  the  actual  length  was  but 
eleven  columns.  These  editorials  dealt  carefully  and  logi- 
cally, but  vigorously  and  sometimes  caustically,  with 
current  political  topics  —  slavery,  the  tariff,  and  banks  - 
always  considered  morally  or  economically,  without  regard 
to  parties.  Agriculture  and  education  were  given  much 
attention.  The  editor  flatly  refused  to  write  "puffs"  for 
advertisers.  In  the  second  number  a  great  national  news- 
paper at  Washington  was  proposed,  to  represent  both  politi- 
cal parties,  page  and  page  alike.  This  was  to  be  supple- 
mented by  similar  papers  at  each  state  capital.  "The 
constitution  provides  for  catching  runaway  negroes,  but  it 
makes  no  provision  for  informing  free  white  men,"  thus 
leaving  the  press  and  the  people  in  the  hands  of  demagogues 
and  factions.  The  national  bi-party  paper  was  to  "miti- 
gate the  ferocity  of  party  zeal,"  and  protect  the  public  from 
low  ribaldry,  sophistry,  and  abuse. 

Of  course  the  Statesman  did  not  "succeed,"  and  it  was 
discontinued  at  the  end  of  one  year;  but  it  is  significant, 
even  in  failure,  as  having  thus  early  voiced  a  protest  still 
heard,  and  as  having  striven  for  an  ideal  still  but  partly 
achieved. 

"On  July  17,  1843. 


INTRODUCTION  Ixxv 

The  free-soil  movement  in  Illinois  gave  rise  to  a  number 
of  newspapers  between  1842  and  1854.  The  movement 
may  be  said  to  have  centered  around  the  series  of  papers 
which  included  Genius  of  Universal  Emancipation,  Genius 
of  Liberty,  and  Free  West,  and  which  were  fairly  entitled  to 
be  called  the  mouthpieces  of  the  free-soil  and  abolition 
movement  in  the  state.  But  by  1845  others  had  sprung  up, 
and  by  1848,  when  Van  Buren  was  supported  by  an  imposing 
list  of  able  and  important  papers,  including  the  Chicago 
Tribune,  free-soil  organs  were  fairly  numerous.70 

On  the  breaking  up  of  the  Whig  party  a  number  of  news- 
papers, like  many  individuals,  found  difficulty  in  placing 
themselves.  The  Whigs,  like  the  Democrats  in  Illinois, 
were  divided  in  two  factions.  Many  Whigs  felt  that  if  they 
were  to  remain  true  to  their  principles,  they  could  not  cor- 
dially unite  with  any  party  then  in  existence;71  and  many 
felt  that  no  genuine  Whig  could  join  a  party  founded  on  the

one  German  paper,  the  Chicago  Staats-Zeitung,  1848,  and  one  Norwegian  Frihets 
Banneret,  1852.  There  were  probably  many  other  ephemeral  i-'ree-Soil  sheets  in 
1848;  but  their  activity  was  so  brief  that  they  sank  at  once  into  oblivion,  along  with 
the  pledges  of  the  Illinois  "  Barnburners."

slavery  question.72  Because  of  the  unusual  lack  of  homo- 
geneity in  the  state,  coalition  of  free  Whigs  and  free  Demo- 
crats was  considerably  retarded. 

In  spite  of  the  popular  revolt  against  Douglas  and  his 
bill,  neither  the  free  Democrats  nor  the  free  Whigs  soon 
seized  the  opportunity  to  lead  in  forming  a  coalition  party, 
and  the  free  Democrats  finally  played  comparatively  little 
part  in  the  Republican  movement  in  Illinois.73  When  the 
Nebraska  bill  was  passed  the  Democratic  Chicago  Courant 
declared:  "The  political  landmarks  can  no  longer  be  Whig 
or  Democratic,  Free- Soil  or  Abolitionist,  but  must  be  merged 
into  the  two  great  parties,  South  and  North." 

In  certain  localities  the  free  Democrats  indicated  readi- 
ness to  form  a  new  party,  and  a  call  was  issued  for  a  con- 
vention in  Springfield  on  October  4  and  5.  The  meeting 
proved  fruitless,  however,  and  "in  this  campaign,  therefore, 
the  Illinois  Free  Democrats  lost  their  identity  as  a  party," 74 
as  well  as  their  opportunity  to  assume  leadership  in  forming 
a  new  one. 

The  Illinois  Whigs  were  extremely  conservative.  While 
the  formation  of  state  Republican  organizations  in  Michigan, 
Wisconsin,  and  elsewhere  was  going  on  in  1854,  the  Illinois 
State  Journal  advised  against  abandoning  the  Whig  organi- 
zation, and  its  advice  was  followed.75  Hence  Illinois  had 
no  Republican  organization  in  1854,  although  the  de- 
mand for  one  was  voiced  by  local  conventions  at  Princeton

number  of  anti-Nebraska  editors  of  the  state  held  a  prelimi- 
nary convention  at  Decatur  on  February  22,  1856. 

Early  in  January  there  had  appeared  in  the  Morgan 
Journal  of  Jacksonville,  edited  by  Paul  Selby,  a  suggestion 
for  the  holding  of  such  a  convention  to  agree  on  a  policy  for 
the  approaching  campaign.  John  Moses  printed  in  the 
Chronicle  of  Winchester  the  first  endorsement  of  the  idea; 
the  Illinois  State  Chronicle  of  Decatur  followed,  and  sug- 
gested Decatur  as  the  meeting  place.  After  some  further 
ratification  a  formal  call  was  issued,  bearing  the  endorse- 
ments of  twenty-five  papers:

As  a  result  of  this  call  a  dozen  persons  were  present  at 
the  opening  meeting,  including  Dr.  Charles  H.  Ray,  Chicago 
Tribune;  George  Schneider,  Chicago  Staats  Zeitung;  V.  Y.

was  made  chairman  and  W.  J.  Usrey,  secretary.  The  only 
outsider  admitted  to  the  deliberations  of  the  convention  was 
Abraham  Lincoln,  who  was  in  conference  nearly  all  day  with 
the  committee  on  resolutions,  made  up  of  Messrs.  Ray, 
Schneider,  Ralston,  Wharton,  Daugherty,  and  Pickett. 
This  committee  drafted  a  platform  and  appointed  a  state 
central  committee,  on  the  call  of  which  the  first  Republican 
state  convention  in  Illinois  was  held  at  Bloomington,  May 
29,  i856.76 

The  great  series  of  debates  between  Lincoln  and  Douglas, 
and  the  other  political  movements  centering  in  these  two 
men  and  leading  to  the  nomination  of  Lincoln  at  Chicago, 
make  the  Illinois  newspapers  between  1856  and  1860  im- 
portant sources  of  the  history  of  a  most  critical  national  era. 
Through  the  newspapers  have  been  preserved  most  of  the 
speeches  made  by  Lincoln  all  over  the  state  hi  those  years; 
yet  the  instances  are  many  in  which  the  papers  reported  in 
detail  the  reception  of  Lincoln,  the  procession  to  the  fair- 
grounds, the  menu  of  the  picnic  dinner,  and  recounted  the 
incident  in  which  Lincoln  insisted  on  yielding  his  seat  of 
honor  to  some  humble  admirer,  but  gave  no  word  of  his 
address  except  to  mention  for  how  many  minutes  or  hours 
he  spoke.  This  is  true  even  of  some  of  that  large  class 
made  up  of  first  papers  to  suggest  Abraham  Lincoln  for  the 
presidency. 

Nothing  short  of  a  history  of  political  parties  in  Illinois 
would  serve  to  present  the  situation  in  the  state  between 
1854  and  the  war.  Nor  is  it  possible  to  set  forth  in  detail 
the  way  in  which  the  newspapers  reflected  the  shaping  of 
political  affairs.  In  general  it  may  be  said,  however,  that 

76  This  account  of  the  Decatur  and  Bloomington  meetings  is  based  on  a  letter 
dated  January  2,  1910,  from  Mr.  Paul  Selby  to  the  writer,  and  on  Mr.  Selby's 
article  in  the  Chicago  Tribune  of  February  22,  1906. 


INTRODUCTION  Ixxix 

in  Illinois  Whig  papers  became  Republican,  and  Demo- 
cratic papers,  less  generally,  remained  Democratic.77  In 
the  border  states  many  Whig  papers  became  Democratic, 
including  the  St.  Louis  Republican,  which  circulated  largely 
in  southern  Illinois,  and  the  Louisville,  Kentucky,  Journal. 
There  were  some  such  changes  in  Illinois.  The  Jackson- 
ville Sentinel  changed  from  Whig  to  Democratic  in  1856; 
the  Knoxville  Journal  and  Clinton  Courier,  formerly  Inde- 
pendent, became  Democratic  in  1855,  the  Decatur  Gazette 
made  the  same  change  in  1856,  the  Pana  Herald  in  1858; 
and  the  Pekin  Tazewell  Register,  which  had  been  Republi- 
can, altered  to  Democratic  in  the  same  year,  as  did  the 
Peoria  Transcript  in  1859.  On  the  other  hand,  the  breach 
in  the  Democratic  ranks,  especially  in  the  northern  part  of 
the  state,  was  more  marked.  The  Galena  Jeffersonian, 
then  under  the  editorship  of  Dr.  Charles  H.  Ray,  afterwards 
editor  of  the  Chicago  Tribune,  took  strong  ground  against 
the  Kansas-Nebraska  bill,  though  it  afterward  drifted  back 
into  the  ranks  of  the  Douglas  Democracy.  But  many 
staunch  Democratic  papers  revolted  at  that  measure.  Even 
the  Southern  Illinoisan,  of  Shawneetown,  left  Douglas  on 
that  point,  and  became  Republican.  Likewise  the  Aurora 
Guardian,  Belvidere  Standard,  Peoria  Banner,  Canton  Reg- 
ister, Belleville  Advocate,  and  the  influential  German  paper, 
Belleville  Zeitung,  altered  their  affiliations  between  1856 

71  The  situation  in  1856  is  thus  described  by  Gustav  Koerner:  "Nearly  all 
prominent  Northern  Democrats  had  joined  the  Republican  party,  as  well  as  a  great 
majority  of  the  former  Whigs.  Nearly  all  the  leading  papers,  advocated  the  Repub- 
lican ticket,  the  Chicago  Tribune,  the  Evening  Journal,  the  German  Staats  Zeitung. 
In  the  middle  of  the  state  it  was  quite  different.  A  great  many  of  the  Whigs,  who 
had  come  from  the  Southern  states,  turned  Democrats  on  the  slavery  question.  It 
was  only  in  a  few  counties  [in  the  southern  part]  such  as  Madison,  and  above  all 
St.  Claii,  that  the  large  majority  of  the  Democrats  joined  the  Republican  party, 
and  this  was  largely  owing  to  the  preponderance  of  the  German  vote.^  The 
most  southern  part  of  the  state  was  almost  unanimous  against  the  Republicans."

and  1858  from  Democratic,  either  to  Free-Soil  and  then  to 
Republican,  or  directly  to  Republican. 

These  are  but  isolated  instances  of  changes  either  way. 
A  large  number  of  hitherto  independent  papers  were  drawn 
to  one  side  or  the  other.  Apparently  in  this  the  Republican 
forces  had  the  advantage.  In  the  starting  of  new  papers, 
on  the  contrary,  and  perhaps  partly  as  a  result  of  defections 
from  the  ranks  of  Democratic  papers,  the  Democrats  out- 
numbered the  Republicans,  in  1857,  1858,  and  1859,  at  a 
ratio  of  about  two  to  one.  A  large  number  of  these  papers 
were  brief  campaign  affairs,  however,  and  they  did  not 
materially  change  the  ratio  as  far  as  permanent  papers  were 
concerned. 

FROM  1861  TO  1870 

The  Civil  War  greatly  affected  the  newpapers  and  the 
newspaper  situation,  and  set  in  motion  certain  developments 
that  were  not  fully  worked  out  until  after  the  close  of  the 
period  with  which  this  paper  deals.  The  stress  and  conflict 
of  public  opinion,  and  popular  anxiety  for  news  from  the 
armies  and  from  Washington  not  only  revolutionized  the 
practice  of  reporting  and  revised  the  form  and  makeup  of 
papers ;  it  made  dailies  out  of  weeklies,  and  overcame  pious 
scruples  against  Sunday  editions.78 

The  immediate  effect  was  on  circulation.  The  papers 
of  the  larger  towns  and  especially  of  Chicago  were  affected 
very  advantageously.  The  circulation  of  the  Tribune  rose 
from  18,000  in  1861  to  40,000  in  1864,  and  other  papers 
showed  like  increases.  John  Wentworth,  who,  in  a  panic 
at  the  prospect  of  war,  sold  his  Democrat  lest  he  should  be

ruined,  saw  that  journal  help  to  swell  the  increasing  tide  of 
subscriptions  to  a  height  hardly  thought  of  before.  The  war 
put  the  Chicago  newspapers  for  the  first  time  on  a  really 
money-making  basis.  Those  outside  of  Chicago,  located 
in  the  larger  towns  and  sufficiently  well  established  to  take 
advantage  of  the  desire  for  immediate  news  in  detail,  were 
also  given  a  fresh  impetus. 

There  were  few  dailies  in  the  state  outside  of  Chicago, 
and  none  of  them  could  compete  with  those  of  that  city  and 
St.  Louis  in  furnishing  news  from  the  front  and  from  Wash- 
ington. "  We  had  no  daily  here  till  1866,"  writes  a  citizen  79 
of  Jacksonville,  "so  our  people  got  the  State  Journal  or 
Register  for  breakfast,  the  St.  Louis  papers  for  dinner,  at 
one  time,  and  the  Chicago  papers  for  supper."  The  Chi- 
cago and  St.  Louis  papers  gained  at  that  time  a  circulation 
all  over  the  state  which  they  have  never  lost.  Yet  the  larger 
dailies  throughout  the  state  held  their  own,  and  received 
their  share  of  prosperity. 

Smaller  papers,  or  papers  in  the  smaller  towns  not  able 
to  get  telegraphic  news,  or  not  favorably  situated  for  receiving 
news  promptly  from  other  sources,  suffered  both  from  the 
competition  of  papers  of  the  larger  towns  and  from  the  great 
rise  in  the  price  of  paper,  which  came  as  a  direct  result  of 
war. 

The  numerical  status  of  newspapers  in  the  state  was 
seriously  affected.  The  two  causes  just  mentioned,  and 
others,  operated  to  decrease  the  number  of  papers,  and  as 
a  result,  we  find  a  situation  of  unexampled  prosperity  on  the 
one  hand,  and  of  poverty,  decline,  and  extinction  on  the 
other.  Beginning  with  1861  there  was  a  sharp  decline  in 

79  Mr.  Ensley  Moore.

the  annual  number  of  papers  started.  From  1854  to  1860 
inclusive  there  was  no  year  in  which  fewer  than  thirty-six 
were  begun  in  the  state  outside  of  Chicago.  In  1859  and 
in  1860  the  number  was  forty-four.  In  1861  just  half  as 
many  appeared,  and  the  three  following  years  showed 
eighteen,  twenty-six,  and  thirty-three  respectively.  Not 
until  1865,  with  forty-five  new  papers,  did  the  rate  of  increase 
reach  normal.  In  the  towns  outside  of  Chicago  a  notable 
exception  to  this  general  depression  was  Cairo,  which,  as 
an  important  troop  station  and  a  gateway  to  the  south,  saw 
its  greatest  newspaper  activity  between  1861  and  1865. 

All  told,  one  hundred  and  forty-four  downstate  papers 
were  started  in  the  war  years.  In  the  same  years  a  total 
of  one  hundred  and  fifty-five  papers  went  out  of  business 
permanently  or  were  suspended  until  after  the  war,  so  that 
at  the  close  of  1865,  in  spite  of  the  forty-five  started  in  that 
year,  there  were  fewer  in  the  state  than  at  the  beginning  of 
1 86 1.  Many  were  abandoned  by  their  editors  or  publishers, 
who  went  into  the  army;  others,  by  the  same  means  left  in 
incompetent  hands,  soon  failed.  No  inconsiderable  num- 
ber had  taken  so  vigorous  a  stand  on  the  losing  side  that  they 
could  neither  hold  their  own  against  or  follow  the  turning 
tide  of  public  sympathy.  This  was  especially  true  in  the 
southern  part  of  the  state,  where  public  opinion  was  power- 
fully influenced  by  the  conduct  of  John  A.  Logan  and  John 
A.  McClernand.  Some  of  these  Democratic  papers  became 
Republican;  more  stayed  in  the  party,  but  advocated 
the  Union  cause;  a  considerable  number  were  unable  to 
convince  their  subscribers  that  a  newspaper,  like  an  indi- 
vidual, may  in  all  sincerity  change  its  fealty,  and  so  were 
snuffed  out;  still  others  steadfastly  held  to  their  earlier 
principles,  but  expounded  them  moderately. 


INTRODUCTION  Ixxxiii 

Forcible  discontinuance  or  interruption  was  the  lot  of 
at  least  eight  papers  as  a  direct  result  of  radical  expressions 
of  opinion.  Papers  at  Bloomington,  Chester,  Chicago, 
Jonesboro,  Maroa,  Mason,  Mendota,  and  Olney  were 
attacked  by  mobs  or  authorities,  and  in  some  cases  the  plants 
were  destroyed.  The  attempt  of  General  Burnside  to  sup- 
press the  Chicago  Times  is  the  most  important  instance  in 
Illinois  of  official  action  against  newspapers  in  the  exciting 
days  of  civil  conflict. 

After  the  proclamation  of  emancipation  had  been  issued 
the  Times  was  so  bitter  in  its  denunciation  of  the  adminis- 
tration that  the  paper  soon  earned  the  designation  of  "cop- 
perhead sheet,"  and  aroused  an  intense  hostility  against  it 
and  its  owner.  General  Ambrose  E.  Burnside,  in  command 
of  the  Department  of  the  Northwest,  with  headquarters  at 
Cincinnati,  issued  an  order  for  the  suppression  of  the  Times, 
and  the  commander  at  Camp  Douglas  was  charged  with  the 
execution  of  the  order.  On  the  morning  of  June  3,  1863, 
soldiers  marched  into  the  press-room  and  took  possession 
of  the  establishment.  About  eight  thousand  papers  had 
been  printed,  a  part  of  which  were  destroyed,  but  the  larger 
part  of  which  were  issued.  No  edition  was  permitted  on 
June  4.  A  great  mass  meeting  was  held  in  the  Court- 
house Square  on  the  evening  of  June  3,  in  advocacy  of  free 
speech  and  a  free  press.  A  meeting  was  also  held  during  the 
day  in  the  circuit  court  room,  at  which  a  petition  to  the 
President  to  revoke  the  order  was  signed  by  all  present,  in- 
cluding many  prominent  Republicans  and  business  men; 
and  Senator  Lyman  Trumbull  and  Isaac  N.  Arnold  tele- 
graphed personally  to  Mr.  Lincoln  to  the  same  effect.  The 
order  was  revoked  June  4,  and  publication  was  resumed 
on  June  5.  The  policy  of  the  Times  was  not  changed; 


Ixxxiv  ILLINOIS  HISTORICAL  COLLECTIONS 

its  circulation,  as  General  Grant  had  foreseen,  was  aug- 
mented by  official  interference.80 

The  first  downstate  paper  to  encounter  opposition  by 
force  was  the  Mendota  Times,  established  in  1859  by  a  Mr. 
Fisk  as  a  Democratic  and  pro-slavery  sheet.  Early  in  1861 
Fisk  was  declared  to  be  a  copperhead  and  was  forced  by  a 
recruiting  company  to  make  a  speech  for  the  Union  and  to 
haul  up  a  Union  flag.  Threatened  with  worse  treatment,  he

The  action  of  General  Burnside,  although  at  once  revoked  by  President  Lin- 
coln, was  by  no  means  precipitate;  and  it  was  in  accord,  in  spirit  at  least,  with  the 
feeling  of  many  other  officials,  both  civil  and  military.  As  early  as  June  25,  1862, 
Governor  Morton  of  Indiana  wrote  to  Secretary  of  War  Stanton  of  an  organization 
of  disaffected  citizens  in  Indiana  who  he  believed  were  likely  to  cause  trouble  by 
carrying  out  their  purpose  to  circulate  and  encourage  "newspapers  of  extremely 
doubtful  loyalty,"  including  the  Chicago  Times.  On  August  7,  1862,  Governor 
Yates  wrote  to  Secretary  Stanton:  "There  is  an  urgent  and  almost  unanimous 
demand  from  the  loyal  citizens  that  the  Chicago  Times  should  be  immediately 
suppressed  for  giving  aid  and  comfort  to  the  enemy.  I  solicit  an  immediate  answer. 
Do  not  delay,  for  I  fear  the  people  will  take  into  their  hands  the  power  which  should 
only  be  used  under  the  authority  of  your  department." 

Major  Generals  C.  S.  Hamilton  and  Stephen  A.  Hurlbut  on  February  8,  1863, 
issued  orders  prohibiting  the  circulation  of  the  Chicago  Times  in  their  commands. 
General  Grant,  writing  to  Hurlbut  February  13,  1863,  concerning  this  order,  ex- 
pressed what  was  probably  the  general  feeling  of  Union  army  officers  on  the  subject: 

"  I  have  seen  your  General  Orders,  No.  4,  February  8,  prohibiting  the  circulation 
of  the  Chicago  Times  within  your  command.  There  is  no  doubt  but  that  paper, 
with  several  others  published  in  the  North,  should  have  been  suppressed  long  since 
by  authority  from  Washington.  As  this  has  not  been  done,  I  doubt  the  propriety 
of  suppressing  its  circulation  in  any  one  command.  The  paper  would  still'  find  ^s 
way  into  the  hands  of  the  enemy,  through  other  channels,  and  do  all  the  mischief 
it  is  now  doing. 

"  This  course  is  also  calculated  to  give  the  paper  a  notoriety  evidently  sought, 
and  which  probably  would  increase  the  sale  of  it.  I  would  direct,  therefore,  that 
General  Orders,  No.  4,  be  revoked." 

The  order  of  Major  General  Burnside  (General  Orders  No.  84)  was  issued  on 
June  i,  1863,  to  prohibit  the  circulation  of  the  New  York  World  in  the  Department 
of  the  Ohio,  and  to  stop  the  publication  of  the  Times.  That  part  relating  to  the 
Chicago  paper  was  worded: 

"  On  account  of  the  repeated  expression  of  disloyal  and  incendiary  sentiments, 
the  publication  of  the  newspaper  known  as  the  Chicago  Times  is  hereby  suppressed." 
Brigadier  General  Jacob  Ammen,  commanding  the  District  of  Illinois  was  charged 
with  executing  that  order. 

On  June  4  Secretary  Stanton  issued  General  Order  No.  91,  directed  to  General 
Burnside:  "By  direction  of  the  President  of  the  United  States,  the  order  suppress- 
ing the  publication  of  the  Chicago  Times  is  hereby  revoked."  This  order  of 
revocation  was  issued  in  response  very  largely  to  the  resolutions  sent  on  June  3,  from 
Chicago,  signed  by  fourteen  prominent  citizens,  including  Mayor  F.  C.  Sherman,

soon  abandoned  his  paper  and  disappeared.81  The  next 
paper  to  suffer  was  the  Bloomington  Times,  which  under 
the  care  of  J.  and  B.  F.  Snow  showed  such  marked  Southern 
proclivities  and  uttered  so  many  expressions  of  sympathy 
for  the  Southern  states  that  a  McLean  County  regiment 
(94th  Illinois  Volunteers),  abetted  by  prominent  citizens, 
destroyed  the  office,  type,  and  press  and  incidentally  the 
paper.  This  occurred  in  August,  1862. 82  A  temporary 
suppression  without  violence  or  material  damage  was  en- 
forced against  the  Jonesboro  Gazette  in  the  spring  of  1863. 
Lieutenant- Colonel  Joseph  H.  Newbold  was  sent  to  Jones- 
boro with  a  part  of  the  i4th  Iowa  Volunteer  Infantry  to 

and  endorsed :  "  We  respectfully  ask  for  the  above  [resolutions]  the  serious  and 
prompt  consideration  of  the  President.  Lyman  Trumbull, 

Isaac  M.  Arnold." 

President  Lincoln's  attitude  is  explained  and  other  points  are  suggested  by  a 
letter  from  the  President  to  Arnold,  dated  May  25,  1865: 

"In  regard  to  the  order  of  General  Burnside  suspending  the  Chicago  Times, 
now  nearly  a  year  ago,  I  can  only  say  I  was  embarrassed  with  the  question  between 
what  was  due  to  the  military  service  on  the  one  hand,  and  the  liberty  of  the  press 
on  the  other,  and  I  believe  it  was  the  despatch  of  Senator  Trumbull  and  yourself, 
added  to  the  proceedings  of  the  meeting  which  it  brought  me,  that  turned  the  scale 
in  favor  of  my  revoking  the  order. 

"  I  am  far  from  certain  to-day  that  the  revocation  was  not  right ;  and  I  am  very 
sure  that  the  small  part  you  took  in  it  is  no  just  ground  to  disparage  your  judgment, 
much  less  to  impugn  your  motives.  I  take  it  that  your  devotion  to  the  Union  and 
the  administration  cannot  be  questioned  by  any  sincere  man."  Nicolay  and  Hay, 
Complete  Works  of  Abraham  Lincoln,  X,  108. 

Whether  this  letter  indicates  such  feeling  or  not,  there  was  much  feeling  that 
a  mistake  had  been  made  in  allowing  the  Times  to  continue  publication.  This 
view  was  forcibly  expressed  by  the  Chicago  Tribune  and  many  other  papers. 
Reviewing,  in  his  final  report,  his  work  as  Acting  Assistant  Provost  Marshal 
General  in  Illinois,  James  Oakes  wrote,  August  9,  1865 : 

"  But  the  grand  cause  —  the  only  really  guilty  and  formidable  source  of  the 
dangers  through  which  Illinois  has  passed  —  is  to  be  found  in  the  steady  streams 
of  political  poison  and  arrant  treason  which  have  been  permitted  to  flow  from  the 
wicked,  reckless,  and  debauched  newspaper  press  of  the  state 

"...  Chief  among  these  instigators  of  insurrection  and  treason,  the  foul  and 
damnable  reservoir  which  supplied  the  lesser  sewers  with  political  filth,  falsehood,

from  the  icgth  Illinois  who  had  returned  to  their  homes. 
His  work  was  seriously  impeded  by  the  radical  utterances 
of  the  Gazette,  which,  like  a  majority  of  its  constituents, 
was  bitterly  against  the  war.  Consequently  he  closed  the 
office  during  the  six  weeks  of  his  stay.  Colonel  Newbold 
so  conducted  himself,  however,  as  to  make  many  warm 
friends,  and  helped  materially  to  change  local  sentiment 
toward  the  Government.  As  a  resident  of  Jonesboro,  still 
living,  has  written,  "the  episode  turned  out  very  well." 

The  Loyalist,  an  extreme  advocate  of  abolitionism,  was 
established  by  George  Brewster  at  Mason,  Effingham 
County,  in  April,  1863.  His  radical  utterances  caused  bitter 
feeling,  and  in  nine  months  resulted  in  his  being  forced  to 
leave.  He  was  allowed  to  remove  his  establishment.  The 
Picket  Guard  of  Chester  suffered  more  severely  on  the  other 
side.  John  R.  Shannon,  the  editor,  found  fault  vituper- 
atively  with  the  measures  adopted  to  suppress  the  rebellion. 
He  became  so  extremely  abusive  that  a  body  of  soldiers 
broke  into  the  office  in  July,  1864,  and  threw  the  type  into 
the  streets.  The  press  was  not  seriously  injured,  and  the 
office  was  refitted.83  At  Olney  the  Democratic  press  was 
broken  up  by  a  mob  of  soldiers  and  its  publication  was  dis- 
continued. A  similar  explosion  of  wrath  at  Maroa  hung 
fire  until  1867.  There  one  T.  J.  Sharp  began  a  Democratic 
Times,  in  January.  His  published  expressions  of  discontent 
with  the  results  of  the  war  brought  him  into  collision  with 
various  citizens,  by  whom  he  was  badly  beaten  on  November 
27  and  ordered  to  leave  town.  He  did  so,  leaving  also  his 
printing  equipment.84  Other  papers  than  these  mentioned

escaped  similar  treatment  by  temporary  suspensions  or  by 
change  of  editors  or  policies. 

Several  instances  of  threatened  violence  to  editors  or 
their  establishments  which  occurred  previous  to  this  time 
are  mentioned  here  for  want  of  a  better  place.  The  earliest, 
probably,  was  that  in  Vandalia  in  February,  1823,  which 
has  already  been  discussed.85  The  Illinois  Republican  at 
Springfield,  an  energetic  Democratic  paper  to  which  Stephen 
A.  Douglas  as  a  young  man  was  a  contributor,  was,  in  1837, 
twice  attacked  by  a  mob,  of  which  the  sheriff  of  the  county 
was  a  member.  The  mob  was  prevented  from  doing  destruc- 
tion only  by  the  vigorous  defense  offered  by  the  Webers, 
owners  of  the  property.88  In  June,  1841,  Ogle  County 
"regulators"  shot  to  death  John  and  William  Driscoll,  two 
notorious  horsethieves  and  outlaws.  Philander  Knappen, 
editor  of  the  Rockford  Star,  denounced  the  execution  edi- 
torially and  printed  a  communication  of  similar  import. 
Soon  afterward  three  citizens,  with  the  approval  of  public 
opinion,  made  pi  of  all  type  in  the  office.  Knappen  aban- 
doned journalism  in  Rockford.

History  of  Sangamon  County,  Illinois  (1881),  pp.  225-224: 

In  1837  Dr.  Henry  was  one  of  the  commissioners  superintending  the  construc- 
tion of  the  new  State  House  in  Springfield  and  a  frequent  contributor  to  the  Sangamo 
Journal.  Stephen  A.  Douglas  was  at  the  same  time  writing  for  the  Illinois  Repub- 
lican and  in  several  anonymous  articles  he  attacked  Dr.  Henry  and  his  official  work. 
A  committee  of  friends  of  Henry  called  upon  the  editor  of  the  Journal  to  demand 
the  name  of  the  author,  but  the  editor  dispersed  them  with  a  vigorous  use  of  his 
fists.  Douglas,  who  witnessed  the  affair,  wrote  a  highly  colored  account  which  the 
paper  published.  As  a  result  the  office  was  attacked  by  a  mob,  led  by  the  sheriff, 
on  two  successive  days,  June  27  and  28,  1837,  but  the  proprietors,  with  Douglas 
and  other  friends,  beat  them  off.  The  sheriff  was  stabbed  in  the  fray  on  the  second 
day,  fainted,  and  was  carried  home.  That  ended  the  riots.  "These  things  gave 
notoriety  to  the  paper."

stress  of  public  opinion,  was  a  part  of  the  lawlessness  that 
resulted  in  the  death  of  Joseph  and  Hyrum  Smith.  In  1844 
the  despotism  of  Joseph  Smith,  leader  of  the  Mormons  in 
Hancock  County,  with  Nauvoo  as  their  holy  city,  became 
unbearable  to  a  considerable  number  of  his  followers,  who 
revolted.  In  order  to  publish  the  causes  of  their  revolt  and 
to  disclose  the  iniquities  of  Smith  and  his  Danite  band  and 
other  new  ecclesiastical  inventions,  these  men  established  a 
newspaper,  the  Nauvoo  Expositor.  The  first  and  only  issue 
appeared  Friday,  June  7,  1844.  It  was  published  by  Wil- 
liam Law,  Wilson  Law,  Charles  Ivins,  Francis  M.  Higbee, 
Chauncey  L.  Higbee,  Robert  D.  Foster,  and  Charles  A. 
Foster,  with  Sylvester  Emmons  as  editor,  and  contains  the 
preamble,  resolutions,  and  affidavits  of  the  seceders  from 
the  church  at  Nauvoo.  On  June  10  the  city  council 
declared  the  Expositor  a  nuisance  and  directed  the  mayor 
to  have  the  establishment  removed,  which  he  did.87  For 
this  destructive  act  Joseph  Smith  and  sixteen  others  were, 
after  a  week's  delay,  arrested  on  a  charge  of  riot.  "After  a 
long  and  close  examination  they  were  all  discharged." 88 
In  the  meantime  the  dissenting  publishers  of  the  Expositor, 
apparently  not  awaiting  the  pretty  farce  by  which  Smith's 
mayor  and  magistrate  gave  a  resemblance  of  legal  consider- 

87  The  order  of  removal  was  worded  thus : 

You  are  hereby  commanded  to  destroy  the  printing  press  from  whence  issues 
the  Nauvoo  Expositor  and  pi  the  type  of  said  printing  establishment  in  the  street, 
and  burn  all  the  Expositors  and  libelous  handbills  found  in  said  establishment, 
and  if  resistance  be  offered  to  your  execution  of  this  order,  by  the  owners  or  others, 
demolish  the  house,  and  if  any  one  threatens  you,  or  the  mayor,  or  the  officers  of 
the  city,  arrest  those  who  threaten  you,  and  fail  not  to  execute  this  order  without 
delay,  and  make  due  return  hereon. 

By  order  of  the  City  Council, 

Joseph  Smith,  Mayor. 

In  a  proclamation  printed  in  the  same  issue  of  the  Neighbor,  Smith  deemed  the 
paper  filthy  and  pestilential,  and  its  publishers  a  set  of  unprincipled  scoundrels, 
blacklegs,  counterfeiters,  debauchees,  and  villainous  demagogues.

ation  and  approval  to  the  acts  destroying  the  paper,  had 
taken  themselves  safely  away.  Smith's  paper  records  their 
flight  by  noting  that  the  persons  concerned  in  the  Expositor 
have  all  left  Nauvoo,  and  that  the  guilty  fleeth  when  no  man 
pursueth.89 

The  war  played  an  important  part  not  only  in  the  changes 
that  came  in  the  character,  number,  and  circulation  of 
papers;  it  was  more  or  less  directly  the  cause  of  three  im- 
portant items  in  the  development  of  the  machinery  of  news- 
gathering  and  newspaper  making.  These  were  the  inven- 
tions of  the  patent  inside,  the  organization  of  the  business 
that  became  the  Western  News  Company,  and  the  formation 
of  the  Western  Associated  Press. 

In  July,  1 86 1,  A.  N.  Kellogg,  publisher  of  the  Baraboo, 
Wisconsin,  Republic,  finding  that  in  consequence  of  the 
enlistment  of  his  patriotic  journeymen  he  would  be  unable 
to  issue  a  full  sheet  on  the  regular  day,  ordered  of  the  Daily 
Journal  office  at  Madison  a  number  of  half-sheet  supple- 
ments printed  on  both  sides  with  war  news  to  fold  with 
his  own  half-sheets.  While  mailing  his  edition  it  occurred 
to  him  that  if  the  awkward  fact  of  his  paper's  being  in 
two  pieces  could  be  obviated  an  excellent  paper  could 
be  regularly  issued  with  a  decided  saving  of  labor  and 
expense.  As  a  consequence,  he  issued,  on  July  12,  1861, 
the  first  sheet  with  " patent  inside."  The  idea  was  at  once 
taken  up  by  the  Madison  Journal,  then  by  the  Milwaukee 
Wisconsin,  and  in  August,  1865,  by  Mr.  Kellogg  himself  in 
Chicago.  G.  F.  Kimball  of  the  Belleville  Advocate  began 
to  print  insides  in  i866.90  By  1880  twenty-one  establish- 
ments were  supplying  3,238  papers,  most  of  them  in  the

western  states.  Although  the  idea  originated  in  Wisconsin 
and  has  been  developed  in  all  parts  of  the  country,  Kellogg 
and  Chicago  have  remained  the  center  of  the  industry, 
which  has  grown  to  enormous  size. 

As  Chicago  was  the  center  of  the  patent  inside  industry, 
it  was  natural  that  Illinois  newspapers  should  make  more 
general  use  of  the  idea  than  those  of  other  states.  The 
effect  was  not  marked  in  the  first  few  years,  but  by  the  later 
seventies  nearly  one-half  of  the  smaller  country  weeklies 
were  "co-operative,"  to  use  the  word  by  which  such  papers 
were  designated  in  the  newspaper  directories.  Many  of 
them,  no  doubt,  would  not  have  been  established  had  not 
this  invention  greatly  reduced  the  cost  of  production. 

The  Western  News  Company  grew  out  of  the  system  or- 
ganized by  a  young  and  energetic  Chicago  newsdealer,  John 
R.  Walsh,  to  build  up  a  business  on  the  increased  demand  for 
prompt  delivery  of  newspapers  and  periodicals  due  to  the 
war  excitement.  The  system  that  now  distributes  nearly 
all  of  the  copies  of  the  larger  papers  in  the  country  was  begun 
by  James  Gordon  Bennett,  with  the  New  York  Herald,  in 
1835.  Out  of  his  idea  grew  the  American  News  Company 
and  rivals,  most  of  which  were  absorbed.  Until  1861  the 
business  of  distributing  not  only  New  York,  but  Chicago 
papers  was  carried  on  by  that  company  with  headquarters 
in  New  York  City.  In  that  year,  however,  Walsh  opened  a 
news  depot  in  Chicago  to  capture  the  business  of  the  middle 
west,  and  commenced  to  supply  the  outlying  towns  of 
Illinois,  Wisconsin,  Minnesota,  and  Iowa.  Newsdealers 
in  those  states  soon  found  that  they  could  get  their  news- 
papers from  Walsh  twelve  hours  earlier  than  from  the 
American  News  Company,  and  twenty-four  hours  earlier 
than  by  mail.91  Walsh  soon  had  all  of  the  business,  and  kept

it  throughout  the  war.  By  this  time  he  was  distributing 
fully  one-half  of  the  total  issue  of  the  Tribune  and  the  Times,92 
This  competition  led  to  negotiations  which  resulted,  in  1866, 
in  the  absorption  of  his  business  by  the  older  company,  of 
which  it  became  the  first  branch,  with  Walsh  as  manager. 

The  war  had  brought  prosperity  to  the  Chicago  papers, 
and  had  shown  very  clearly  the  need,  in  that  news  center, 
of  a  press  association  which  would  do  for  the  Chicago  and 
other  middle  western  papers  what  the  American  News 
Association  was  doing  for  those  of  New  York.  On  the 
initiative  largely  of  Joseph  Medill,  of  the  Chicago  Tribune, 
a  meeting  was  held  at  Louisville,  Kentucky,  on  November 
22  and  23,  1865,  at  which  the  Western  Associated  Press  was 
formed.  Horace  White,  managing  editor  of  the  Tribune, 
was  made  a  member  of  the  executive  committee. 

The  forming  of  this  association  not  only  meant  co-op- 
erative use  of  telegraph  news  among  the  papers  that  held 
membership,  but,  also  through  co-operation  with  the  New 
York  Association,  it  greatly  broadened,  at  a  minimum  cost, 
the  news  resources  of  both  the  western  and  the  eastern 
papers.  Without  such  associations  the  telegraph  would 
never  have  been  able  to  keep  pace  with  the  demands  of  the 
press,  and  the  telegraphic  news  service  of  anything  like  the 
scope  attained  even  by  1870  would  have  been  possible  only 
for  the  largest  and  wealthiest  papers.  The  effect  of  this 
organization  and  its  successor,  the  Associated  Press,  upon 
the  number  of  papers  fully  equipped  with  news  service, 
particularly  the  daily  papers,  of  course,  is  not  to  be  over- 
looked. One  direct  result  was  to  make  a  close  corporation 
of  the  newspapers  already  existing  in  any  particular  place, 
and  to  render  it  almost  impossible  to  start  a  new  newspaper

that  could  compete  with  them,  inasmuch  as  the  newspaper 
could  not  get  the  Associated  Press  dispatches  without  their 
•consent."3 

Immediately  following  the  close  of  the  war  there  was  a 
serious  decline  in  newspaper  prosperity.  The  number  of 
papers  started  year  by  year  at  this  time  increases,  but  the 
figures  do  not  signify  healthy  growth.  The  Chicago  papers 
declined  in  circulation  to  a  point  not  much  beyond  that  of 
1 86 1,  and  never  fully  regained  their  circulation  until  after 
the  fire.  The  papers  of  the  larger  towns,  owing  to  improved 
telegraphic  service,  the  rapid  growth  of  the  towns,  and  other 
causes,  did  not  suffer  severely.  The  country  press,  on  the 
whole,  however,  began  then  a  decline  in  quality  that  has 
continued  to  a  large  extent  to  the  present  time.  That 
decline  is  not  quantitative ;  it  does  not  include  many  of  the 
daily  papers,  nor  by  any  means  all  of  the  country  weeklies 
in  the  state.  But  the  increasing  encroachment  of  the  dailies 
of  Chicago  and  the  other  larger  cities  of  the  state  have  taken 
away  much  of  the  prosperity  and  the  influence  of  a  large 
proportion  of  the  country  press,  the  quality  of  which  has 
consequently  declined. 

In  spite  of  the  various  causes  that  operated  against  the 
newspapers  between  1860  and  1870,  however,  there  was  a 
remarkable  increase  in  their  number.  The  census  returns 
for  1860  show  a  total,  of  all  classes,  of  286,  of  which  twenty- 
three  were  dailies,  six  tri- weeklies,  two  semi- weeklies,  238 
weeklies,  and  seventeen  monthlies.94  By  1870  these  figures 
had  grown  to  thirty-nine  dailies,  ten  tri-weeklies,  four  semi- 
weeklies,  364  weeklies,  eleven  semi-monthlies,  seventy-two 
monthlies,  and  three  quarterlies — a  total  of  505,  a  remarkable

increase  over  the  286  in  1860.  Perhaps  the  most  noticeable 
features  of  this  comparison  are  the  slight  increase  in  dailies 
and  the  great  increase  in  monthlies.  The  actual  numerical 
increase  in  dailies  between  1850  and  1860  was  less  by  only 
one  paper  than  that  between  1860  and  1870.  The  addi- 
tional monthly  publications,  largely  in  Chicago,  were  one 
of  the  indications  of  the  growing  importance  of  that  city  as 
a  publishing  center. 

FROM  1871  TO  1879 

The  very  bulk  of  the  issue  of  the  newspaper  and  periodical 
press  in  the  last  decade  to  be  considered  makes  impossible 
here  a  treatment  much  more  than  merely  statistical.  This 
was  a  time  of  great  numerical  increase;  it  comprehends  the 
great  Chicago  fire  of  October,  1871 ;  the  dismal  year  of  1876, 
perhaps  the  worst  in  the  whole  history  of  Illinois  newspapers ; 
the  rise  of  the  daily  to  great  importance;  and  the  growth 
of  the  Chicago  press  into  truly  " metropolitan"  proportions. 

The  whole  list  for  1870  was  50 5. 95  The  following  decade 
more  than  doubled  that,  showing  in  1880  a  total  of  1,017, 
divided  into  seventy-four  dailies,  six  tri-weeklies,  seventeen 
semi-weeklies,  758  weeklies,  eighteen  semi-monthlies,  118 
monthlies,  and  twenty-two  quarterlies.  The  number  of 
papers  in  the  state  each  year  of  this  decade  is  shown  by 
Rowell's  newspaper  directory  to  have  been  as  follows:98 
1870,  422;  1871,  499;  1872,  518;  1873,  544;  1874,  588; 
1875,  642;  1876,  707;  1877,  709;  1878,  716;  1879,  732; 
1880,  832.  It  will  be  noticed  that  1877  had  but  two  more 

95  The  totals  include  a  few  semi-annual  and  annual  publications  of  which  no 
note  is  taken  in  the  analysis. 

**  In  comparing  these  figures  with  those  of  the  census  reports  bear  in  mind  that 
Rowell's  figures  are  made  up  at  least  six  months  earlier  than  the  census  figures. 
Rowell's  number  for  1871,  for  instance,  is  really  for  1870.

papers  than  1876.  In  the  United  States  as  a  whole  there 
were  one  hundred  and  seventy-one  fewer  newspapers  at  the 
beginning  of  1877  than  there  were  one  year  earlier.  "It  is 
apparent,"  wrote  Rowell's  editor  in  1877,  "that  the  last 
twelve  months  have,  in  a  financial  sense,  been  unusually 
unsatisfactory  to  newspaper  publishers.  Partly  by  reason 
of  the  excitements  and  hopes  incidental  to  a  national  election 
of  an  unaccustomed  order,  a  sufficient  number  of  news- 
papers have  come  into  being  to  have  maintained  the  total 
number  reported  in  1876,  had  there  not  been,  in  addition 
to  the  eventual  suspension  of  many  of  the  newspapers,  also 
an  unusual  mortality  among  those  already  established. 
Journalistic  prosperity,  however,  is  not  to  be  judged  by  the 
number  of  papers  that  are  established  within  a  given  period, 
but  by  the  number  that  maintain  their  existence;  and  the 
centennial  year  has  undeniably  been  one  of  extended  pecu- 
niary oppression  among  the  men  that  publish  papers." 
This  "pecuniary  oppression"  seems  to  have  dwelt  most 
heavily  on  the  dailies,  which  were  reduced  in  number  from 
fifty  in  1876  to  forty-seven  in  1877. 

The  Chicago  publishing  equipment  was  almost  totally 
destroyed  by  the  fire  of  October  9-12,  1871,  in  which  every 
newspaper  establishment  was  burned  out.  Yet  the  larger 
daily  papers  all  appeared,  in  small  sheets,  within  forty-eight 
hours.  The  Journal  issued  an  extra,  a  small  three-column 
sheet  printed  on  one  side,  on  October  9;  the  issue  of 
October  10,  printed  at  a  small  job  office  that  had  been 
spared  by  the  flames,  announced  that  the  Evening  Post 
would  be  issued  that  day,  and  that  the  Tribune  would  be 
issued  on  the  next,  October  n.  The  Inter-Ocean  got  out 
a  number  on  October  10;  the  Republican  and  the  Mail 
appeared  on  the  i2th.  No  important  daily  paper  suspended

publication  permanently  on  account  of  the  fire,  but  a  number 
of  weekly  and  monthly  periodicals  were  never  revived. 
Others,  especially  several  that  had  New  York  offices,  were 
moved  to  that  city.  As  an  early  consequence  pf  the  fire, 
therefore,  the  number  of  publications  in  the  city  was  con- 
siderably reduced.  But  those  that  remained  partook  of 
the  great  revival  of  the  city  as  a  whole ;  out  of  the  ashes  grew 
the  great  and  real  prosperity  of  the  Chicago  dailies,  and  of 
the  Chicago  press  in  general. 

The  increase  in  the  daily  press  in  this  decade  is  important 
numerically.     The  totals  for  each  year  are:

The  slow  growth  of  daily  newspapers  until  toward  the 
end  of  the  period  contrasts  sharply  with  their  rapid  increase 
later.  In  fact,  the  close  of  the  decade  marks  the  real  be- 
ginning of  their  most  rapid  growth  in  the  state  at  large. 
This  growth  is  naturally  affected  directly  by  the  increase  of 
population  in  the  towns.  The  minimum  population  on 
which  a  daily  can  be  supported  was  once  set  by  Horace 
Greeley  at  about  ten  thousand,  but  at  the  time  he  gave  that

testimony  there  were  papers  in  this  country  supported  by 
communities  of  less  than  half  that  size.  Since  that  time  the 
number  has  considerably  decreased,  so  far  as  the  town  of 
publication  is  concerned;  but  taken  in  connection  with  the 
rural  population  upon  which  the  small  dalies  have  come 
more  and  more  to  depend,  the  decrease  has  been  slight.  At 
present,  indeed,  it  is  apparently  increasing,  rather  than 
diminishing.  The  relation  of  population  to  daily  papers  in 
Illinois  in  1880  was  shown  by  the  census  report  as  follows:

The  daily  papers  of  the  state  have  shown  a  tendency 
steadily  toward  afternoon  rather  than  morning  issues. 
That  tendency  first  took  definite  form  in  this  decade  be- 
tween 1871  and  1880.  At  the  beginning  of  it,  the  numbers 
of  morning  and  afternoon  issues  in  the  state  were  almost 
equal.  Of  the  forty- two  downstate  dailies  in  1878,  thirteen 
were  morning  and  twenty-nine  were  evening.  In  Chicago, 


xcviii  ILLINOIS  HISTORICAL  COLLECTIONS 

eight  were  morning  and  four  were  evening.  The  tendency 
in  the  smaller  cities  has  continued  toward  evening  papers.89 
This  is  doubtless  due  to  the  growth  and  the  improved  dis- 
tributing facilities  of  the  Chicago  and  St.  Louis  morning 
papers,  and  to  the  cheap  "pony"  news  service  offered  by 
the  Scripps-McRae,  and,  later,  the  United  Press  Associa- 
tions, as  well  as  others  that  have  been  organized  since  1900. 
On  the  other  hand,  since  1900  there  has  been  an  increase 
in  the  number  and  importance  of  downstate  morning  dailies. 
This  increase  has  come  from  cities  which  have  become  large 
enough  to  support  papers  holding  Associated  Press  fran- 
chises. These  papers  are,  as  afternoon  papers  are  not,  able 
to  compete  with  the  Chicago  papers,  and  will  doubtless  be  an 
increasingly  important  feature  of  Illinois  journalism  as  the 
number  of  larger  cities  in  the  state  is  augmented.  At  the 
same  time  the  situation  is  complicated  by  the  help  being 
rendered  the  afternoon  papers  by  more  efficient  telegraphic 
news  service,  and  by  the  greatly  increasing  importance  of 
the  telephone  as  an  ally  of  the  afternoon  press. 

The  lower  price  that  came  with  the  general  introduc- 
tion of  wood-pulp  in  the  manufacture  of  paper,  and  the  in- 
creased activity  in  the  patent-inside  industry  helped  upward 
the  figures  of  both  daily  and  weekly  papers.  The  decline 
in  the  quality  of  many  of  the  country  weeklies,  mentioned 
in  the  next  preceding  section,  was  remarkable  in  this  last 
decade.  This  came  with  the  more  general  use  of  the  patent

inside,  which  convenience  was,  by  the  later  seventies,  used 
by  nearly  one-half  of  the  weeklies  in  the  smaller  towns. 
The  patent  inside  was  chiefly  used  by  papers  newly 
starting  in  business;  but  it  has  no  doubt  prolonged  the  life 
of  many  a  paper  that  would  otherwise  have  suffered  ex- 
tinction, perhaps  not  in  all  cases  undeserved.  There  was 
something  to  be  said  in  favor  of  the  patent  inside ;  more,  of 
course,  before  the  development  of  the  stereotyped  plate 
matter  which  has  almost  entirely  superseded  the  earlier 
scheme  of  economy,  than  later.  It  supplied  material  often 
of  a  respectable  quality  which  would  otherwise  have  been 
out  of  reach  of  the  country  editor.  Matter  of  special  interest 
and  often  of  value  to  the  country  population  was  thus  fur- 
nished; good  fiction  and  less  good  was  disseminated.  But 
granting  the  patent  inside  full  credit  of  economy,  convenience, 
and  respectability,  it  nevertheless  lowered  the  quality  of  the 
country  weekly.  Up  to  the  time  of  the  Civil  War,  however 
violent  or  crude  the  tone  in  many  instances,  the  country  press 
had  individuality  of  character,  and  in  its  own  community 
was  as  real  and  definite  a  force  as  the  great  papers  of  the  era 
of  personal  journalism  were  in  larger  spheres.  More  than 
half  of  the  influence  of  the  paper  was  dissipated  when  half 
of  its  pages  were  filled  and  printed  by  "outsiders."  It  does 
not  seem  that  this  should  necessarily  have  been  true,  for  the 
editor  still  had  two  pages  at  his  command;  but  it  was  true, 
nevertheless.  Many  papers,  indeed,  kept  aloof  from  the 
patent  inside,  retained  their  individuality  —  and  their 
advertising  space  —  and  have  steadily  improved,  as  the 
press  as  a  whole  has  improved;  others  have  grown  into 
dailies;  still  others,  after  more  or  less  brief  careers  as  "co- 
operatives," have  recovered  their  individuality,  and  become 
again  "all  home  print."  But  it  must  be  recorded  that  in 


c  ILLINOIS  HISTORICAL  COLLECTIONS 

the  years  just  following  the  war  there  began  in  Illinois  that 
class  of  papers  which,  unlike  many  that  preceded  the  war 
or  survived  it,  are  of  mere  numerical  importance  in  the  story 
of  the  Illinois  press.  That  class  grew  and  flourished  most 
numerously  in  this  period  between  1870  and  1880. 

The  numerical  increase  was  fostered  also  by  a  usage 
developed  in  this  decade  by  which  papers  for  small  towns 
in  surrounding  territory  were  printed  at  a  central  office.  A 
typical  instance  is  that  of  the  Joliet  Phoenix,  which  was  the 
home  office  of  a  brood  of  Phoenixes  bearing  date-lines  of 
Lockport,  Wilmington,  Lemont,  Braidwood,  Peotone,  and 
Plainfield.  Such  papers  have  at  least  three  pages  in  common. 
A  local  editor  supplies  some  news  from  each  town,  which, 
with  the  name,  is  all  of  the  one  paper  that  differs  from  all  the 
others. 

Another  mechanical  aid  to  the  development  of  the  news- 
paper industry  which  was  contributed  by  Illinois  in  this 
period,  was  the  folder,  which  made  the  web  perfecting  press 
a  possibility.  The  invention  was  made  by  Walter  Scott, 
who  was  at  that  time  foreman  of  the  machinery  department 
of  the  Chicago  Inter-Ocean.  The  Bullock  presses  of  the 
establishment  were  promptly  equipped  with  the  new  inven- 
tion, and  thus  the  Inter-Ocean  was  the  first  paper  to  be 
printed  on  a  perfecting  press.100 

The  political  aspect  of  the  period  will  have  to  be  passed 
entirely,  except  for  a  word  concerning  the  Granger  move- 
ment and  the  Greenback  party,  which  stirred  the  press, 
usually  the  rural  press,  of  the  country  in  the  late  seventies 
and  early  eighties. 

Perhaps  a  score  of  Illinois  papers  supported  Greeley  in 
1872,  including  such  influential  ones  as  the  Chicago  Tribune

and  Belleville  Zeitung.  Of  these  a  considerable  number 
then  became  identified  with  the  Granger  movement ;  within 
1873  and  1874  several  new  Granger  and  anti-monopolist 
papers  were  started,  but  most  of  the  supporters  of  these 
causes  were  recruits  from  the  old  parties.  Such  papers 
were  to  be  found  at  Macomb,  Bloomington,  Salem,  Oregon, 
Decatur,  Hillsboro,  Woodstock,  and  elsewhere.  Usually 
the  Granger  papers  lasted  but  two  years,  some  not  so  long, 
a  few  considerably  longer.  At  least  half  of  them  had  become 
Greenback  before  1876,  and,  with  others,  brought  to  the 
support  of  Peter  Cooper  at  least  thirty  papers  in  the  state. 
Some  of  these  had  rather  fantastic  idiosyncrasies.  The 
Unicorn  Greenback  at  Barry  was  written  almost  entirely  in 
verse ;  the  Greenback  Gazette  at  Chester  was  printed  on  green 
paper.  There  was  a  lull  in  Greenback  journalism  between 
1876  and  1878,  but  in  the  latter  year  and  1879  sixteen  new 
papers,  and  as  many  other  recruits,  together  with  those  that 
had  survived  from  before  the  earlier  campaign,  gave  Weaver 
the  support  of  forty  papers  in  Illinois,  including  such  as  the 
Pontiac  Free  Trader,  Morgan  Monitor  of  Jacksonville, 
Golden  Era  of  McLeansboro,  and  New  Era  of  Woodstock 
which  were  not  originally  Greenback.  A  considerable  num- 
ber were  established  to  support  that  party,  among  which 
were  Unicorn  Greenback,  Barry;  Express  and  Sentinel, 
Chicago;  National  Era,  Danville;  Independent,  Erie; 
Independent,  Graf  ton;  Local  Leader,  Lexington;  Herald, 
Milford;  Beacon,  Milton;  Reformer,  Morris;  Industrial 
Tribune,  Murphysboro;  Legal  Tender,  Pekin;  Observer, 
Petersburg;  Greenback  Post,  Quincy;  National  Greenbacker 
and  Telephone,  Rochelle;  Review,  Roodhouse;  Herald, 
Shelbyville;  Industrial  Banner,  Yates  City.  The  Green- 
back party  thus  brought  into  existence  a  number  of  papers, 


di  ILLINOIS  HISTORICAL  COLLECTIONS 

nearly  all  short  lived,  and  helped  out  of  existence  certain 
others  which  became  advocates  of  the  fiat  money  idea. 

One  more  discharge  of  statistics,  and  the  array  of  figures 
on  the  press  in  Illinois  at  the  close  of  the  sixty-five  years 
with  which  this  sketch  has  to  do,  will  have  been  shown.  The 
thousand  and  seventeen  papers  in  the  state  left  few  vicinities 
unprovided  with  "the  source  of  American  culture."  No 
county  was  without  its  paper.  Twenty-eight  towns  had 
five  or  more ;  twelve  had  four,  thirty-seven  had  three,  ninety- 
three  had  two,  and  one  hundred  and  seventy  municipalities 
were  supplied  each  with  one  newspaper. 

There  were  publications  in  six  languages  at  that  time, 
though  previously  eight  tongues  had  been  represented.  The 
Bohemians  had  four,  one  of  which  was  a  daily;  nine  hun- 
dred and  twenty,  including  sixty-three  dailies,  were  printed 
in  Engish;  one  was  printed  in  French  and  two  in  Polish; 
there  were  nine  dailies  and  sixty-one  other  papers  in  German, 
and  one  daily  and  nineteen  others  in  the  Scandinavian 
languages.  In  Chicago  alone  there  were  two  hundred 
and  eighty-nine  newspapers  and  periodicals,  comprised  of 
eighteen  dailies,  one  hundred  and  thirty-eight  weeklies, 
ninety-one  monthlies,  and  forty-two  of  other  periods  of 
publication.  On  another  basis  of  classification,  these  in- 
cluded sixty-three  devoted  to  news  and  politics,  eight  to 
agriculture,  fifty-one  to  commerce  and  trade,  one  to  finance, 
nine  to  literature,101  thirty-three  to  religious  purposes,  and  one 
hundred  and  twenty-four  to  a  wide  variety  of  interests,  from 
oriental  archaeology  to  trap  shooting. 

101 A  total  of  120  "periodicals  with  some  sort  of  literary  interest  dominant  in 
their  pages"  were  attempted  in  Chicago  prior  to  1880:  twenty-seven  in  the  forties, 
and  fifties,  forty-six  from  1860  to  1871  inclusive,  and  forty-seven  in  the  seventies 
after  the  fire.  Of  the  whole  number,  forty  continued  for  less  than  one  year,  and 
twenty-two  for  one  year  only.  Fewer  than  half,  therefore,  outlasted  a  year.  Herbert 
E.  Fleming,  Literary  Interests  of  Chicago,  112. 


INTRODUCTION  ciii 

Of  religious  publications,  four  were  Baptist,  one  Congre- 
gational, two  Disciples,  two  Episcopal,  one  Jewish,  three 
Lutheran,  five  Methodist,  one  Mormon,  two  Presbyterian, 
one  Reformed,  six  Roman  Catholic,  one  Adventist,  one 
Spiritualist,  one  Swedenborgian,  one  United  Brethren,  one 
Unitarian,  one  Universalist,  and  fifteen  non-sectarian. 

A  retrospective  glance  over  the  threescore  and  five  years 
between  1814,  when  the  first  little  three-column  paper  was 
started  at  Kaskaskia,  and  1879,  reveals  but  a  few  more  than 
a  thousand  papers  still  extant  out  of  a  total  of  about  three 
thousand  that  have  furnished  forth  their  salutatories  and 
their  advertising  rates.  But  a  third  of  all  those  hopefully 
begun  have  endured  the  " halcyon  and  vociferous".  The 
newspaper  press  spread  northward  over  the  state  like  a 
prairie  fire;  like  a  fire  it  has  often  flared  and  smoked,  and 
gone  out;  and  one  turns  from  the  record  of  two  thousand 
failures  with  a  feeling  as  of  stepping  among  a  residue  of 
scorched  bones. 

Yet  the  successes  have  been  more  important  than  the 
failures  have  been  numerous,  and  these  papers,  living  and 
dead,  have  played  an  active  part  in  the  life  and  growth  of 
the  commonwealth.  Long  before  the  close  of  this  period 
there  had  grown  up  a  number  of  strong  and  energetic 
journals,  some  in  every  section  of  the  state,  upon  which  the 
journalistic  honor  of  the  commonwealth  rests  secure.  A 
sketch  as  brief  as  this  is  left  incomplete  because  it  is  without 
a  more  detailed  account  of  the  part  these  papers  have  played 
in  the  growth  of  the  state;  and  especially  without  some 
more  adequate  reference  to  the  men  who  have  made  these 
papers,  and  whose  lives  are  the  best  part  of  the  history  of 
the  Illinois  press.  A  number  of  papers  in  the  state  have 
long  since  passed  the  half-century  mark ;  men  are  still  active

in  journalism  who  began  their  labors  before  the  Civil  War, 
and  one  has  died  while  this  work  was  in  preparation  whose 
connection  with  Illinois  newspapers  began  in  1848. 

Incomplete  as  it  is,  however,  perhaps  this  survey  may 
serve  to  give  some  order  and  significance  to  the  kaleido- 
scopic record  which  follows  in  the  bibliography.

WESTERN  PIONEER  AND  BAPTIST  STANDARD  BEARER,  +June  30, 
1836-1839:  Removed  from  Rock  Spring  in  June,  1836,  by  Ash- 
ford  Smith  and  Company,  under  patronage  of  the  Baptist  denomi- 
nation in  Illinois  and  Missouri.  Its  editors  were  J.  M.  Peck, 
at  first  alone,  afterward  associated  with  E.  Rogers  and  Rev. 
Washington  Leverett.  With  the  beginning  of  its  second  year  it 
was  known  as  the  Western  Pioneer.  It  was  finally  discon- 
tinued as  a  separate  publication  about  the  close  of  1838,  and 
combined  in  January,  1839,  with  a  paper  published  at  Louis- 
ville, Ky.,  and  New  Albany,  Iowa,  entitled,  in  1839,  Baptist 
Banner  and  Western  Pioneer.  (See  Rock  Spring  Pioneer) .  H 

TELEGRAPH,  January  20,  1836  to  1882 :  Founded  by  R.  M.  Tread- 
way  and  L.  A.  Parks.  Published  by  Messrs.  Treadway,  Parks, 
and  S.  G.  Bailey,  1836-1837;  Parks  and  Bailey,  1837;  Mr. 
Parks,  1837;  Mr.  Parks  and  John  Bailhache,  1837;  Mr.  Bail- 
hache,  1837-1838.  In  1838  S.  R.  Dolbee  purchased  a  half 
interest  and  firm  continued  until  1850  when  Dolbee  was  succeeded 
by  Wm.  H.  Bailhache,  son  of  John  Bailhache.  From  1852-1854, 
E.  L.  Baker  was  one  of  the  firm.  Mr.  Baker  and  L.  A.  Parks 
conducted  it,  1854-1855.  In  1855  the  Telegraph  was  merged 
in  the  Courier  (which  see)  and  so  remained  until  the  death  of  the 
Courier  in  1861,  when  L.  A.  Parks  and  J.  T.  Beem  and  S.  V. 
Grossman  revived  the  publication  of  the  Telegraph.  Parks  and 
Grossman  continued  its  publication,  1861-1864;  Mr.  Parks  and 
Thos.  S.  Pinckard,  1864-1866;  Mr.  Parks,  1866;  Parks  and 
Chas.  Holden,  1866-1867;  Parks,  Holden,  and  W.  T.  Norton, 
1867-1875;  Holden  and  Norton,  1875-1880;  Mr.  Norton,  1880 
to  1893.  After  1888  the  paper  was  published  by  the  Alton  Tele- 
graph Printing  Company.  In  1893  W.  T.  Norton  sold  his  stock 
to  W.  J.  A.  Cousley  and  W.  H.  Bauer,  who  with  other  stock- 
holders continue  to  publish  the  paper,  with  W.  J.  A.  Cousley  as 
editor.  Mr.  John  Bailhache  was  its  editor,  1837-1841,  and  from 
1841  for  several  years  it  was  edited  by  Geo.  T.  M.  Davis.  It 
was  known  simply  as  the  Telegraph  until  April  3,  1841,  when  it 
became  the  Alton  Telegraph  and  Democratic  Review.  In  1853  it 
became  the  Alton  Telegraph  and  Madison  County  Record,  which 
name  it  retained  until  merged  in  the  Courier.  When  the  Whig 
party  died  it  became  a  strong  Republican  organ.  During  the 
fall  of  1836  great  excitement  spread  over  the  country  as  a  conse- 
quence of  John  Quincy  Adams's  contest  in  Congress  over  the 
right  of  petition.  It  is  asserted  that  the  Telegraph  was  the  only 
paper  west  of  Cincinnati  which  supported  Mr.  Adams  in  that 
struggle.  January  i,  1851,  a  tri-weekly  was  begun;  in  1852  the 
daily  was  begun;  the  weekly  was  continued.

ALTON,  MADISON  COUNTY  5 

TAPER,  June,  1840 (?):    A  non-sectarian  religious  monthly, 

edited  by  Rev.  Thomas  Lippincott,  a  Presbyterian  minister.     S 

OBSERVER,  September  8,  1836-  August  21,  1837+  :  This  paper  was 
first  published  in  St.  Louis  as  an  organ  of  the  Presbyterians. 
When  Elijah  P.  Lovejoy  became  its  editor  he  began  vigorously 
and  unrelentingly  to  assail  the  institution  of  slavery  through  its 
columns.  In  1836  he  resolved  to  remove  the  press  and  material 
of  the  Observer  to  Alton,  Illinois.  Before  shipment  much  of  the 
material  was  destroyed  and  cast  into  the  Mississippi,  and  the 
rest  met  the  same  fate  when  it  was  unloaded  on  the  wharf  at 
Alton.  Notwithstanding  these  reverses,  Mr.  Lovejoy  procured 
a  new  press  and  the  first  issue  of  the  Alton  Observer  appeared, 
September  8,  1836.  This  new  press,  type,  and  material  were 
destroyed  by  a  mob  on  the  night  of  August  21,  1837.  The  third 
press  was  ordered,  and  destroyed  on  the  night  of  its  arrival,  and 
the  fragments  were  cast  into  the  river.  A  fourth  press  was 
ordered  at  once.  It  was  shipped  from  Cincinnati  and  arrived 
in  Alton  on  the  night  of  November  6,  1837.  On  the  night  of 
November  7  Mr.  Lovejoy  was  killed,  his  press  broken  up  and 
its  fragments,  too,  cast  into  the  Mississippi.1  Beginning 
December  28,  1837,  the  Observer  was  printed  in  Cincinnati  by 
Elisha  W.  Chester  and  sent  to  Alton  for  distribution.  Rev.  T. 
B.  Hulburt  supplied  local  news  from  Alton.  This  arrangement 
was  abandoned  April  19,  1838.  HS

was  changed  to  U 

MISSOURI  AND  ILLINOIS  TEMPERANCE  HERALD,  +November,  1839- 
1842 :  and  was  published  simultaneously  in  St.  Louis  and  Alton 
as  the  organ  of  the  two  state  temperance  societies.  January, 
1842,  the  paper  became  the  organ  also  of  the  Washingtonian 
societies,  and  the  title  with  the  number  for  that  date  became 
Missouri  and  Illinois  Temperance  Herald  and  Washingtonian. 
A.  W.  Corey  was  still  editor.  See  Springfield,  Illinois  Washing-

'  find  '  for  $35,  and  removed  it  to  Iowa.  From  1858  to  1870  it  was  used  to  print 
the  Cresco  Plain  Dealer,  at  New  Oregon,  Howard  County,  Iowa.  Then  George 
E.Frost  bought  it  for  $100  and  printed  the  Clear  Lake  Observer  on  it  till  about 
1876,  when  it  was  again  sold  to  F.  A.  Gates,  editor  of  the  Belmont  Herald.  For 
about  twenty  years  it  remained  in  service  at  Belmont,  Iowa,  and  was  then  sold

Another  paper  edited  by  A.  W.  Corey,  who  in  the  first  number 
announced  the  discontinuance  of  the  Illinois  Temperance  Herald. 
The  prospectus  announced  the  paper  to  be  the  organ  of  the 
Illinois  State  Temperance  society,  and  all  other  temperance 
societies  that  wished  to  use  its  columns;  but  unlike  its  unsuc- 
cessful predecessors,  this  was  to  be  a  general  newspaper.  Parks

of  the  Illinois  Anti-Slavery  Society,  held  June,  1845,  at  Alton.

COURIER,  May  29,  1852-1861:  Published  by  Geo.  T.  Brown; 
associated  with  him  were  James  Gamble  and  John  Fitch  (see 
Banner,  Carrollton).  It  was  edited  by  Mr.  Fitch,  1853-1854. 
Mr.  Brown  was  its  sole  editor  and  proprietor,  1854-1860,  when 
he  sold  to  B.  J.  F.  Hanna  and  S.  V.  Grossman.  In  May,  1860, 
Benjamin  Teasdale  and  B.  F.  Webster  obtained  an  interest. 
Mr.  Webster  retired  in  December,  1860,  and  its  publication  was 
abandoned  in  January,  1861  (see  Alton  Telegraph).  In  the 
Kansas-Nebraska  controversy  it  strongly  favored  free  soil  and 
in  1856  favored  Fremont  for  president.  In  1858  the  Courier

AURORA,  KANE  COUNTY  15 

REFORMER,  July,  1858-1860:  A  sixteen-page  monthly.  Established 
by  Augustus  Harman  and  Ellen  Beard.  It  was  discontinued  in 
June,  1860.  It  declared  itself  "to  be  what  its  name  indicates," 
and  fought  ardently  for  prohibition,  dress  reform,  etc.  Miss 
Beard  soon  became  Mrs.  Harman.  She  assisted  her  husband 
in  the  editorial  department,  set  type,  canvassed  for  subscribers, 
and  lectured. 

TEMPERANCE  TOCSIN,  April  till  fall,  1860:  A  sheet  half  the  size  of 
the  Reformer,  established  by  Augustus  Harman  and  wife,  in- 
tended for  local  circulation.  Mr.  Harman  died  in  the  fall  of 
1860,  after  which  Mrs.  Harman  continued  the  publication  of  the 
Tocsin  for  a  short  time. 

CHRONICLE,  February,  1861 :  Established  by  John  H.  Hodder, 
editor  and  proprietor.  This  paper  existed  about  six  months. 

HERALD,  June,  1866-1903:  Established  by  Thomas  E.  Hill.  He 
was  succeeded  in  the  ownership  of  the  paper  by  the  firms 
of  Hill  and  Gale;  Gale  and  Shaw;  Shaw  and  Bangs;  Bangs, 
Owen  and  Ford;  and  Bangs  and  Owen.  In  1871  the  paper 
was  purchased  by  Pierce  Burton,  who  in  1874  sold  a  half 
interest  to  Mr.  James  Shaw,  who  re-sold  to  Mr.  Burton  in 
1880.  The  latter  continued  the  paper  until  he  established 
the  Aurora  Daily  Express  in  1882,  and  thereafter  the  Herald 
was  the  weekly  edition  of  that  paper.  Originally  Republican 
in  politics,  under  Mr.  Burton  it  was  Independent.  In  1876  it 
supported  Peter  Cooper  for  President ;  and  it  advocated  Green- 
back principles  as  long  as  the  party  of  that  name  had  a 
national  organization.  Mr.  Burton  retired  from  business  in 
1902.  After  several  changes  of  ownership,  the  Express  ceased 
publication  in  1903,  and  with  it  perished  also  the  Herald.  PU 

WEEKLY,  June,  1867 :  Established  by  Dudley  Randall;  had  a  brief 
existence. 

ARGUS,  1867:  This  paper  was  in  some  sort  the  successor  of  the 
Aurora  Weekly.  It  was  established  by  Dudley  Randall,  and 
edited  by  him  and  W.  H.  H.  Brainard.  Possibly  there  was 
simply  a  change  of  name  without  change  in  proprietorship  or  in 
the  character  of  the  paper. 

VOLKSFREUND,  1 868  to  date:  Established  by  Peter  Klein  and  Jacob 
Siegmund.  In  1871  Mr.  Klein  purchased  the  interest  of  Mr. 
Siegmund,  and  has  since  continued  sole  proprietor.  Republican 
until  1884,  when  it  supported  Cleveland  for  President.  It  soon 
became  Republican  again,  and  has  remained  so.  May  27,  1895, 
a  daily  edition  was  started,  and  has  been  continued.  U

DAILY  NEWS,  February  22,  1874:  Founded  by  Jacob  Siegmund 
and  Charles  M.  Faye.  The  first  daily  paper  in  Aurora  to  main- 
tain a  permanent  existence.  Mr.  Faye  sold  his  interest  to  Mr. 
Siegmund  in  September,  1875,  and  was  succeeded  for  a  few 
weeks  by  Orville  B.  Merrill.  On  February  i,  1876,  Willis  B. 
Hawkins  became  owner  of  one-half  the  plant.  Hawkins 
remained  with  the  News  for  several  years.  On  his  retiring,  Mr. 
Siegmund  published  the  paper  for  a  time,  with  Richard  W.  Cor- 
bett  as  editor.  In  1884  Mr.  Siegmund  sold  the  plant  to  Edward 
Northam  and  Eben  F.  Beaupre",  who  published  the  paper  about 
two  years,  and  then  sold  it  to  John  F.  Dewey.  In  1891  Mr. 
Dewey  sold  to  Walter  S.  Frazier.  From  Mr.  Frazier  ownership 
of  the  paper  passed  at  his  death  to  Lincoln  B.  Frazier,  a  son. 
Under  the  proprietorship  of  L.  B.  Frazier  the  News  has  con- 
tinued. W.  W.  Clark  is  the  present  editor.  PU

Welch.  From  Welch's  hands  it  passed  to  those  of  Peter  Klein

Constantine.  This  co-partnership  was  of  less  than  six  months' 
duration;  then  Peter  Klein  transferred  his  interest  in  the  paper 
to  his  partner,  who  kept  the  Post  going  for  nearly  twenty  years. 
In  1897  Constantine  was  appointed  postmaster  of  Aurora,  and 
soon  after  this  the  Evening  Post  was  discontinued. 

INDEPENDENT,  September,  1878:  Established  by  Edward  Keough, 
formerly  of  the  Elgin  Times.  The  Independent  was  started 
as  a  Democratic  paper ;  but  the  Democrats  of  Aurora  apparently 
did  not  care  for  an  organ,  and  the  Independent  lived  but  a 
short  time.

Stewart,  1850-1852,  with  Stewart,  Waite  and  Company  as

mation. In  length  of  life  it  surpassed  all  other  early  periodicals 
of  predominantly  literary  tone.  Its  motto  was  "To  please  be 
ours."  In  1847  the  proprietors,  in  order  to  meet  a  growing 
demand  for  news  alone,  established  the  Chicago  Daily  Tribune, 
as  an  offshoot  to  the  Gem  of  the  Prairie.  The  latter  paper  was 
continued  under  the  same  name  until  1852,  when  it  was  merged

from  1 86 1  to  1864,  and  again  from  1878  to  1888 ;  W.  K.  Sullivan,

NORTHWESTERN  EDUCATOR  AND  MAGAZINE  OF  LITERATURE  AND 
SCIENCE,  January,  1847-1849:  A  monthly,  edited  and  published 
by  James  L.  Enos  and  D.  L.  Curtiss.  In  the  issue  of  February, 
1849,  James  L.  Enos  is  given  as  editor  and  publisher.  He  writes 
editorially  in  that  number  concerning  the  influence  of  the  Edu- 
cator: "It  was  commenced  under  the  most  unfavorable  circum- 
stances, in  a  country  where  no  like  publication  had  ever  circu- 
lated, where  the  people  were  comparatively  little  imbued  with 
a  love  for  education  —  or  at  least,  that  inculcated  by  professional 
teachers  —  and  with  the  privations  incident  to  a  new  country 
pressing  heavily  upon  them;  yet,  notwithstanding  these  diffi- 
culties, the  influence  of  the  Educator  has  steadily  increased,  and 
within  the  last  three  months  the  circulation  has  nearly  doubled." 
The  objects  of  the  magazine  were  to  expose  the  dangers  of  fal- 
lacious theories  of  education,  and  to  set  forth  and  to  defend  the 
true  principles  of  instruction.  Vol.  in,  no.  2  owned  by  Frank

PORCUPINE,  winter  of  1847-1848:  Edited  by  Charles  Bowen  and

TRIBUNE,  1847  to  date:  Established  by  Joseph  K.  C.  Forrest, 
James  J.  Kelly  and  John  E.  Wheeler.  Messrs.  Forrest  and 
Kelly  very  early  retired  and  Thomas  A.  Stewart  became 
editor.  In  1847  the  Gem  of  the  Prairie  was  absorbed  by  the 
Tribune  and  became  the  Sunday  edition  of  that  paper.  The 
Tribune  was  managed  by  Wheeler,  Stewart  and  Scripps,  1848- 
1851;  T.  J.  Waite,  manager,  Wm.  Duane  Wilson,  editor, 
1852-1853.  Gen.  Wilson's  interest  was  purchased  by  March 
23,  1853,  Henry  Fowler,  Timothy  Wright  and  Gen.  J.  D. 
Webster.  On  June  18,  1853,  Joseph  Medill  came  from  Cleve- 
land and  purchased  a  share  in  the  paper,  whereupon  the  issue 
was  made  under  the  auspices  of  Wright,  Medill,  and  Company, 
and  Stephen  J.  Staples  is  specified  in  the  directory  for  1853- 
1854  as  assistant  editor.  On  July  21,  1855,  Thomas  A. 
Stewart  retired  from  the  partnership,  and  September  23,  Dr.  C.  H. 
Ray  and  J.  C.  Vaughn  were  editors.  At  the  same  time  Alfred 
Cowles  became  a  member  of  the  firm,  which  was  then  composed 
of  Messrs.  Medill,  Ray,  Wright,  Webster,  Vaughn,  and  Cowles. 
Under  the  vigorous  influence  of  Dr.  Ray  the  paper  soon  became 
of  primary  importance  in  Chicago  and  Illinois.  It  was  one  of 
the  first  to  endorse  the  formation  of  the  Republican  party  in 
Illinois,  and  did  much  to  bring  about  the  successful  organiza- 
tion of  that  party,  and  the  nomination  and  election  of  Lincoln 
in  1860.  March  26,  1857,  Mr.  Vaughn  withdrew  and  the  part- 
nership name  became  Ray,  Medill,  and  Company.  In  1858  the 
Tribune,  being  consolidated  with  the  Daily  Democratic  Press, 
was  known  as  the  Press  and  Tribune,  issued  by  the  proprietors 


60  ILLINOIS  HISTORICAL  COLLECTIONS 

of  both  papers  (see  Democratic  Press).  In  1861  the  word 
Press  was  dropped  and  the  Tribune  Company  was  organized. 
Scripps,  Bross,  Ray,  Medill,  and  Cowles  were  the  principal 
stockholders.  In  1861  the  Tribune  absorbed  the  Democrat. 
In  1 866  Horace  White,  who  had  previously  been  connected  with  the 
paper  and  had  acquired  the  stock  of  Mr.  Scripps,  became  editor. 
He  was  succeeded  in  1874  by  Joseph  Medill.  Under  White  the 
Tribune  had  supported  Horace  Greeley,  but  Medill  brought  it 
back  into  the  Republican  fold,  where  it  has  remained,  though 
manifesting  a  considerable  independence.1  Mr.  Medill  died  in 
March,  1899,  and  was  succeeded  as  editor  by  R.  W.  Patterson, 
who  was  editor  until  his  death,  on  April  i,  1910.  The  Tribune 
has  been  since  1908  in  direct  charge  of  Medill  McCormick.  It 
has  been  a  daily  from  its  beginning.  For  many  years  it  had 
also  semi-weekly,  tri-weekly,  and  weekly  editions,  all  of  which 
have  been  discontinued.  The  file  at  the  office  of  the  Tribune 
is  complete  from  about  1860.  File,  1861-1876,  in  Boston

Edited  by  Rev.  Luther  Stone  and  published  by  Messrs.  Walker 
and  Worrall,  of  the  Western  Herald  (which  see).  In  1849  Wight 
and  Bross  became  its  publishers.  In  1853  Mr.  Stone  sold  the 
paper  to  Dr.  J.  C.  Burroughs,  Levi  D.  Boone  and  A  D.  Tits- 
worth,  and  it  became  the  H

tors. November  24  of  the  same  year  the  paper  was  sold  to  Rev. 

!The  Tribune  followed  closely  the  lead  of  Greeley  and  the  New  York  Tribune 
in  urging,  immediately  after  the  defeat  of  General  Scott  for  the  presidency  in 
1852,  that  the  Whig  party  had  lost  its  usefulness;  and,  after  the  Kansas-Ne- 
braska bill  had  been  passed  in  1854,  took  the  lead  in  the  West,  as  Greeley  and  the 
New  York  Tribune  did  in  the  East,  in  agitating  a  union,  in  the  Republican  party, 
of  all  anti-slavery  and  anti-Nebraska  elements. 

"In  1856  I  made  as  strong  a  fight  for  Fremont  as  was  in  my  power,"  Medill 
wrote,  "  worked  for  Abraham  Lincoln  against  Stephen  A.  Douglas  for  senator  in 
1858;  printed  verbatim  the  great  debates  in  which  these  two  men  were  engaged, 
and  in  1859  began  pushing  Mr.  Lincoln  for  the  presidency." 

In  1860  the  Tribune  put  forth  every  effort  for  the  nomination  and  election 
of  Lincoln,  and  after  war  broke  out,  was  the  most  influential  Union  newspaper 
west  of  New  York  City.  It  urged  Lincoln  to  issue  an  emancipation  proclamation, 
opposed  Johnson's  reconstruction  policy,  upheld  the  impeachment  proceedings, 
defended  the  reconstruction  acts  of  Congress,  and  supported  Grant  in  1868.  Under 
Horace  White  the  Tribune  was  vigorously  opposed  to  a  policy  of  extremely  high 
protective  tariffs,  and  not  until  1874,  when  Medill  secured  control  and  the  editor- 
ship, did  it  support  the  prevailing  policy  of  the  dominant  party.  Under  Medill 
it  was  for  many  years  a  high-tariff  paper,  but  it  has  long  occupied  a  position  of 
great  independence  in  both  local  and  national  affairs,  and  has  gained,  especially 
under  the  editorship  of  Robert  W.  Patterson,  a  wide  independent  following.

In  1854  Mr.  Smith  sold  his  interest  to  Mr.  J.  F.  Childs  and  the 
proprietary  firm  became  Church  and  Childs.  In  1855  Mr.

issued  by  the  Western  Citizen  to  support  Van  Buren  and  the 
Free  Soil  party. 

ILLINOIS  STAATS-ZEITUNG,  April,  1848  to  date:  Established  by 
Robert  Bernhard  Hoeffgen.  He  was  soon  succeeded  ai  edifc.r 
by  Dr.  Hellmuth;  Arno  Voss,  1848-1849;  Herman  Kriege, 
1849-1850;  Geo.  Schneider  with  Mr.  Hoeffgen  as  manager, 
1850-1852;  Schneider  and  Hillgaertner,  1852-1854;  Schneider 
and  Schlaeger,  1854.  Subsequently  H.  Beinder  and  Daniel 
Hertle  became  incorporated  with  the  editorial  staff,  but  Mr. 
Schneider  was  the  animating  spirit.  At  first  it  was  a  weekly, 
but  under  Mr.  Kriege  it  was  made  a  semi-weekly  and  then  tri-

weekly.  In  1851  Mr.  Schneider  made  it  a  daily.  In  1854  the 
publication  of  the  Sonntag  Zeitung  was  begun.  In  1862  Schneider 
sold  his  interest  to  Lorenz  Brentano,  who  became  editor.  A.  C. 
Hesing  became  sole  owner  in  1867;  Herman  Raster  became 
editor,  and  remained  in  that  position  until  1891,  when  he  was 
succeeded  by  William  Rapp.  Hesing  was  succeeded  in  the 
management  by  his  son,  Washington  Hesing.  By  1874  the 
Sunday  edition  had  been  changed  to  Der  Westen.  The 
Illinois  Staats-Zeitung  Company  were  editors  and  publishers, 
and  in  politics  the  paper  was  Independent.  In  1881  the  weekly 
edition  and  Der  Westen  were  listed  as  Independent,  the  daily 
edition  as  Independent-Republican.  By  1907  the  Sunday 
edition  had  been  changed  to  Westen  Und  Daheim.  Since  then 
the  daily,  Sunday,  and  weekly  editions  have  been  Independent- 
Republican.  The  Illinois  Publishing  Company  are  publishers. 
The  entire  stock  of  this  company,  which  was  owned  by  Mrs. 
Herman  Raster  and  Richard  Michaelis,  is  owned  at  present  by 
Walter  R.  Michaelis1  and  Horace  L.  Brand.  The  Staats-Zeitung 
was  active  in  urging  the  movement  which  resulted  in  the  forma- 
tion of  the  Republican  party.  It  strenuously  opposed  the  Kansas- 
Nebraska  Bill  and  the  extension  of  slavery.  .  ENAHUC

ermore,  1859-1869.  According  to  Mr.  Boss,  Mrs.  Mary  Liver- 
more  was  "real  editor"  during  the  period,  1859-1869.  In  May 
1869,  Rev.  J.  W.  Hanson,  D.D.,  and  Rev.  Selden  Gilbert  became 
owners.  In  September  of  that  year,  the  Northwestern  Univer- 
salist Publishing  House  became  the  publishers,  with  J.  W.  Han- 
sen,  D.D.,  as  editor  and  Mr.  Gilbert,  business  manager.  In 
October,  1871,  Dr.  Hanson  became  both  manager  and  editor. 
Rev.  W.  A.  Start  was  business  manager  for  1874,  but  in  1875 
Dr.  Hanson  was  again  manager  and  editor.  He  remained  so 
until  1883,  with  the  Northwestern  Universalist  Publishing  House 
continuing  as  publishers.  The  Star  o]  the  West  of  Cincinnati

LITERARY  BUDGET,  1852-1855+:  Published  monthly  by  William 
Weaver  Danenhower,  a  bookseller,  who  established  the  paper 
as  a  medium  for  the  advertising  of  books  and  periodicals.  After 
seven  monthly  issues  it  was  changed,  January  7, 1854,  to  a  weekly, 
with  Benjamin  F.  Taylor  as  editor.  T.  H.  Whipple  appeared 
as  associate  editor  in  the  same  year.  In  its  weekly  form  the 
Budget  grew  into  a  "literary  journal  of  distinct  merit,"  concen- 
trating its  attention  upon  matters  concerning  the  West.  It  states 
editorially,  "A  new  field  is  open  to  authorship.  .  .  .  The  West 
is  full  of  subject-matter  for  legend,  story  or  history.  ...  All 
that  is  lacking  is  a  proper  channel.  This  channel  we  offer.  The 
Budget  claims  to  be  a  western  literary  paper,  and  we  invite 
writers  to  send  us  articles  on  western  subjects,  for  publication." 
The  paper  was  continued  until  1855.  In  the  summer  of  that 
year  Mr.  Danenhower  "became  state  leader  of  the  'Native 
American'  or  'Know- Nothing'  party,  which  had  during  the  year 
preceding  carried  two  eastern  commonwealths  and  had  shown 
strength  in  the  middle  states.  He  announced  that  the  Budget 
would  'close  its  existence,'  that  he  would  'launch  his  bark'  once 
more,  and  that  his  numerous  readers  would  receive  the  Weekly 
Native  Citizen.  As  a  spokesman  of  the  reaction  against  the 
immigration  due  to  the  Irish  famine  and  the  continental  revo- 
lutions of  1848  and  1849,  he  wrote  vehemently.  With  the 
Budget's  last  breath  he  said :  '  We  trust  that  our  future  exertions 
will  be  such  as  to  exemplify  to  the  world  that  the  pure  fire  of 
American  sentiment  is  sweeping  over  our  vast  prairies;  that 
hereafter  America  shall  and  must  be  governed  by  Americans.'"1  H

1  President  Lincoln  contributed  the  following  anonymous  note  to  the  Washing- 
ton Chronicle,  June  6,  1863: 

"EDITOR  OP  THE  CHRONICLE:  In  your  issue  of  this  morning  you  have  an 
article  on  the  Chicago  Times.  Being  an  Illinoisan,  I  happen  to  know  that 
much  of  the  article  is  incorrect.  As  I  remember,  upon  the  repeal  of  the  Missouri 
Compromise,  the  Democratic  newspapers  at  Chicago  went  over  to  the  opposition. 
Thereupon  the  Times  was  established  by  the  friends  of  the  administration,  Sena- 
tor Douglas  being  the  most  prominent  in  establishing  it.  A  man  by  the  name  of 
James  Sheahan,  from  this  city,  was  its  first  and  only  editor  nearly  if  not  quite 
all  the  remainder  of  the  senator's  life.  On  the  political  separation  between  Mr. 
Buchanan  and  Senator  Douglas,  the  Times  adhered  to  the  senator,  and  was  the 
ablest  paper  in  his  support  through  his  senatorial  contest  with  Mr.  Lincoln. 
Since  the  last  presidential  election  certainly,  perhaps  since  Senator  Douglas's 
death,  Mr.  Sheahan  left  the  Times;  the  Times  since  then  has  been  identical  with 
the  Times  before  then  in  little  more  than  the  name.  The  writer  hereof  is  not 
well  enough  posted  to  say  but  that  your  article  in  other  respects  is  correct." —

CHICAGO  TIMES,  +June  20,  i86i-March  4,  1895+:  After  the 
emancipation  proclamation,  the  Times  ceased  to  favor  the  prose- 
cution of  the  war,  and  was  bitter  in  its  denunciations  of  Lin- 
coln's administration.  It  became  such  a  radical  "copperhead 
sheet"  that  General  Ambrose  E.  Burnside,  in  command  of  the 
Department  of  the  Northwest,  with  headquarters  at  Cincinnati, 
issued  an  order  for  the  suppression  of  the  Times,  and  the  com- 
mander at  Camp  Douglas  was  charged  with  the  execution  of  the 
order.  On  the  morning  of  June  3,  1863,  soldiers  marched  in- 
to the  press  room  and  took  possession.  Mass  meetings  were  held 
during  the  day  in  advocacy  of  free  speech  and  a  free  press.  A 
petition  to  President  Lincoln  to  revoke  the  order  was  signed  by 
some  of  the  most  prominent  Republicans  and  business  men  of  the 
city,  and  Senator  Lyman  Trumbull  and  Isaac  N.  Arnold  tele- 
graphed personally  to  Mr.  Lincoln  to  the  same  effect.  The  order 
was  revoked  by  the  President  and  publication  was  resumed  June 
5.  After  the  presidential  campaign  of  1868  the  Times  ceased  to 
be  a  party  organ,  claimed  to  be  Independent,  and  made  many 
vigorous  onslaughts  on  the  Democratic  party.  However,  it 
supported  the  Democratic  candidates  of  1876,  1880  and  1884. 
In  the  fall  of  1863,  Franc  B.  Wilkie  joined  the  editorial  staff,  and 
in  1867  Andre  Matteson  became  a  part  of  the  editorial  force  for 
the  second  time.  Ananias  Worden  was  manager  from  1861 
to  1865;  H.  B.  Chandler,  1865-1870;  Mr.  Storey  became  sole 
owner  in  1870,  and  made  A.  L .  Patterson  manager.  The 
establishment  was  destroyed  in  the  great  fire  of  1871,  but 
reappeared  very  soon  after.  Mr.  Storey,  who  had  been 
the  leading  spirit  of  the  paper  for  over  twenty  years,  died  in 
October,  1884 ;  the  paper  went  into  the  hands  of  a  receiver  and  was 
sold  in  1887  to  a  new  Chicago  Times  Company  headed  by  James 
J.  West,  who  was  manager.  He  was  ousted  later,  and  succeeded 
by  Huiskamp  Brothers,  with  Joseph  R.  Dunlap  as  editor.  In 
1891  Carter  H.  Harrison  formed  the  Newspaper  Company  and 
bought  the  Times.  Carter  H.  Harrison,  Jr.,  was  made  business 
manager,  and  Preston  Harrison  managing  editor.  March  4, 
1895,  it  was  joined  to  the  Herald  —  hence  Times-Herald,  which 
on  March  28,  1901,  was  consolidated  with  the  Record  as  the

In  1868  the  editorship  was  given  to  Rev.  John  Morrison  Reid.

The  first  few  numbers  contained  a  "Sloan's  Column,"  in  which 
his  patent  medicines  were  advertised.  "Later  Oscar  B.  Sloan, 
a  son,  became  editor.  The  patent  medicine  notices  disappeared. 
The  paper  became  a  pro-western  literary  organ  of  genuine  merit, 
having,  however,  a  trend  toward  the  family-story  type  of  literary 
appeal."  It  was  merged  in  1854  with  the  People's  Paper  of  Bos- 
ton, which  lived  until  1870.  WH

Founded  by  the  Mechanics'  Institute,  an  organization  for  night- 
study,  the  object  being  partly  to  secure  exchanges  gratis  for  its 
library.  Zebina  Eastman  was  the  editor ;  John  Gager  and  Com- 
pany were  the  publishers.  The  magazine  was  devoted  to  liter- 
ature, biography,  historical  reminiscence,  etc.  Mr.  H.  E.  Flem- 
ing mentions  it  as  "the  literary-historical  magazine  of  highest 
tone."  It  was  beautifully  and  profusely  illustrated,  and  though 
it  carried  as  many  advertisements  as  were  usual  at  that  time,  its 
expenses  were  greater  than  its  receipts.  The  five  numbers  pub- 
lished were  got  out  with  increasing  difficulty,  and  the  magazine 
expired  in  August.  According  to  Andreas,  the  failure  was  a  great 
loss  to  the  literary  interests  of  the  city.  Monthly.  CSH

of  the  Daily  Times  and  Herald  was  issued  September  8.  This 
paper  was  maintained  through  the  campaign  of  1860  as  an  ex- 
treme exponent  of  State  Rights  Democracy.  Ex-Governor  E. 
W.  McComas  was  editor  first  of  the  Herald,  later  of  the  Times 
and  Herald.  An  advertisement  of  the  Herald  before  the  con- 
solidation announces  that  the  paper  will  continue  "an  organ  of 
Democratic  thought  and  an  exponent  of  constitutional  principles. 
It  will  advocate  the  equal  rights  of  the  people  and  the  fraternal 
union  of  the  States.  ...  Its  motto  is  'Principles,  not  Men.' 
As  a  commercial,  mechanical,  literary  and  moral  newspaper,  it 
will  be  inferior  to  none  in  the  West.  Nothing  will  be  allowed 
in  its  columns  that  will  cause  a  blush  to  the  most  rigidly  pure."

in  Chicago,  and  quite  pretentious  for  so  early  a  date  ..."  In

fields  of  literature"  were  to  be  traversed  "and  the  progress  of  fine 
arts  to  be  traced."  The  financial  embarrassment  of  Mr.  Blan- 
chard in  another  publication  enterprise  prevented  the  appearance 
of  a  second  number  of  the  Quarterly,  even  though  the  material 
for  it  was  in  the  proof.  H

CHICAGO,  COOK  COUNTY  83 

LITTLE  CORPORAL,  July,  1865-1875:  A  monthly,  in  journal  form, 
devoted  to  secular,  juvenile  literature.  Its  motto  was:  "Fight- 
ing against  Wrong,  and  for  the  Good  and  the  True  and  the  Beau- 
tiful." This  excellent  magazine  was  originally  published  for 
the  United  States  Sanitary  Commission  in  connection  with  a  fair. 
Its  success  and  popularity  encouraged  its  continuance  fora  decade. 
It  was  the  first  periodical  from  Chicago  to  secure  wide  attention, 
and  the  first  juvenile  in  the  country  to  be  read  by  children  every- 
where. It  was  the  forerunner  of  St.  Nicholas,  of  New  York, 
and  influenced  for  the  better  the  character  of  the  Youth's  Com- 
panion of  Boston.  The  names  of  the  editors  and  publishers  are 
as  follows:  Alfred  L.  Sewell,  editor  and  publisher,  1865 ;  Sewell 
and  Edward  Eggleston,  editors,  A.  L.  Sewell,  publisher,  1866- 
1868 ;  Sewell  and  Emily  Huntington  Miller,  editors,  Sewell,  pub- 
lisher, 1868-1869;  Sewell  and  Emily  H.  Miller,  editors,  Sewell 
and  Miller,  publishers,  1870;  Sewell  and  E.  H.  Miller,  editors, 
Alfred  L.  Sewell  and  Company,  publishers,  1871;  Emily  Hunt- 
ington Miller,  editor,  and  John  E.  Miller,  publisher,  1872-1875. 
Edward  Eggleston  and  Frances  E.  Willard  were  frequent  con- 
tributors. In  April,  1872,  Work  and  Play,  of  Springfield,  Mass., 
was  absorbed.  The  circulation  of  the  Little  Corporal  was 
remarkably  large  in  the  early  years,  but  the  advertising  was  not 
correspondingly  developed,  and  after  a  gradual  decline,  the  pub- 
lication ceased  in  1875.  Vols.  15  and  16,  1872  and  1873,  are  in 
the  Evanston  Public  Library.  H

POST,  September  4,  1865-1874+  :  A  Republican  paper,  daily  and 
weekly,  which  until  February  3,  1866,  was  published  as  the  Post. 
Then  it  appeared  as  Evening  Post,  and  later  as  the  Chicago  Post, 
but  the  title  Evening  Post  seems  to  have  prevailed  after  December 
14,  1866.  Established  by  William  Pigott,  who  used  the  paper 
successfully  to  effect  the  election  of  the  "soldiers'  ticket."  At 
first  it  was  published  by  Pigott  and  Stanley  G.  Fowler,  but  after 
a  few  months  it  was  bought  by  David  Blakely,  who  associated 
with  him  in  the  business  department  his  brother,  C.  H.  Blakely. 
For  a  short  time  General  Hasbrouck  Davis  was  editor.  In  1867 
the  Post  Printing  Company  was  organized  and  Charles  H.  Ray 
was  made  editor.  In  the  same  year  William  H.  Schuyler  be- 
came manager.  In  1869  Schuyler  sold  his  interest  to  McMullen 
Brothers,  and  J.  B.  McMullen  became  manager.  Ray  died  in 
1870.  Late  in  1873  controlling  stock  was  bought  by  Woodbury 
M.  Taylor  and  the  Post  was  consolidated  with  the  Mail  to  form

ber, 1877,  although  McMullen  Brothers  were  publishers  for 
several  months  in  1877.  In  1878,  while  organizing  a  new  com- 
pany, Oliver  A.  Willard,  a  leading  stockholder,  died.  The 
paper  was  continued  for  a  few  months  by  his  sister,  Frances  E. 
Willard,  after  which  it  was  sold,  August,  1878,  to  the  News.  C 

RELIGIO-PHILOSOPHICAL  JOURNAL,  1865  to  date  (1895) :  A  spirit- 
ualist paper  issued  weekly.  Early  in  1867  a  successor  to  the 
Religio-Philosophical  Journal  was  announced  to  appear  under 
the  name  of  Spiritual  Republic.  It  was  not  to  be  '  'tied  to  any 
sect  or  party  .  .  .  '  The  editors  purposed  to  "correct  all 
the  evil  of  the  world  and  set  things  in  general  to  rights."  Except 
for  one  mention  of  it  in  the  city  directory  for  1869,  there  is  no 
evidence  that  this  paper  appeared.  The  old  name  was  being 
used,  moreover,  in  1869,  according  to  Rowell's  newspaper  direc- 
frny  for  that  year, which  gives  S.  S.  Jones  as  editor  and  the  Religio- 
Philosophical  Publishing  Association  as  publishers.  S.  S.  Jones 
was  editor  and  publisher,  1870-1877,  and  proprietor,  1873-1875. 
In  1879  and  1880,  John  C.  Bundy  was  editor  and  manager.

REPUBLICAN,  May  30,  i865~March,  1872:  A  daily  established  by 
an  imposing  list  of  stockholders,  who  were  dissatisfied  with  the 
Tribune,  including  Ira  Y.  Munn,  John  V.  Farwell,  J.  K.  C.  For- 
rest, and  J.  Y.  Scammon  of  Chicago;  Jesse  K.  Dubois  and  Jacob 
Bunn  of  Springfield ;  John  Wood  of  Quincy ;  J.  Wilson  Shaffer 
of  Freeport;  A.  C.  Babcock  of  Canton;  A.  W.  Mock  of  Kan- 
kakee;  and  Henry  Childs  of  Du  Page  county.  The  company 
bought  the  plant  —  and  the  Associated  Press  franchise  —  of  the 
Morning  Post.  Charles  A.  Dana  was  made  editor,  A.  W.  Mock, 
publisher.  Dana  did  not  assume  his  duties  until  well  on  in  July. 
In  just  one  year  these  gentlemen  withdrew.  Dana  was  not 
happy  in  the  position,  and  not  enough  money  was  put  into  the 
enterprise  to  put  it  properly  on  its  feet.  A  brief  suspension  fol- 
lowed the  change  of  management.  The  stock  was  now  con- 
trolled by  Bunn  and  Dubois;  a  new  company  was  formed;  V. 
B.  Denslow  was  made  editor,  George  D.  Williston,  manager, 
and  publication  was  resumed  August  5,  1865.  After  one  year 
Denslow  withdrew  and  James  F.  Ballantyne  became  editor. 
He  was  succeeded  by  Henry  M.  Smith,  and  he  by  John  G.  Nico- 
lay  in  1869.  In  1870  Bunn,  having  become  sole  owner,  sold  to 
a  company  consisting  of  Joseph  B.  McCullagh,  John  R.  Walsh, 
H.  N.  Hibbard,  and  William  H.  Schuyler.  Burned  out  in  the 
fire,  the  Republican  was  bought  by  John  Y.  Scammon;  it  reap- 
peared on  October  12,  and  continued  until  March,  1872,  when 
it  was  succeeded  by  the  Inter  Ocean.  Complete  file  in  the  library

Halsey,  under  the  editorial  supervision  of  Dr.  George  E.  Ship- 
man.  Its  pages  record  a  great  advance  in  the  development  of 
the  new  system  of  medical  practice.  In  1871,  on  behalf  of  the 
Hahnemann  Medical  College  and  Hospital,  Drs.  W.  Danforth, 
A.  E.  Small,  and  R.  Ludlam  bought  the  interest  of  Mr.  Halsey, 
the  publisher.  From  that  time  the  journal  was  largely  filled 
with  reports  of  lectures  in  that  school,  and  with  the  transactions 
of  the  Chicago  Academy  of  Medicine.  After  the  completion  of 
nine  volumes  it  was  merged  with  the  Medical  Investigator,  and 
became  the  United  States  Medical  Investigator.  HJ

WESTERN  MONTHLY,  January,  i869-December,  1870+ :  Estab- 
lished by  H.  V.  Reed.  It  was  "intended  to  be  purely  an  insti- 
tution of  the  West  ..."  and  was  expected  to  "explore  the 
fields  of  literature  and  gather  the  ripe  fruits  of  ...  pioneer 
talent."  After  a  few  months  Francis  Fisher  Browne  purchased 
an  interest  and  joined  Mr.  Reed  in  conducting  the  magazine. 
Upon  Mr.  Reed's  withdrawal  after  a  time,  Mr.  Browne  became 
sole  director.  Under  his  direction  the  tone  of  the  magazine  be- 
came more  purely  literary  than  it  had  been,  and  the  narrow, 
provincial  title,  "Western  Monthly,"  was  exchanged  for  one 
which,  without  losing  the  flavor  of  locality,  would  "connote  a 
wide  interest  in  the  esthetic," —  the  Lakeside  Monthly.  HS 

LAKESIDE  MONTHLY,  +  January,  i87i-February,  1874:  With  in- 
creased influence  and  reputation  under  its  new  name,  which 
replaced  that  of  Western  Monthly,  and  under  the  skilful  editorial 
direction  of  Francis  Fisher  Browne,  the  magazine  became  the 
nucleus  of  a  large  printing  and  publishing  house.  This  was 
the  Lakeside  Publishing  and  Printing  Company,  successor  to 
the  magazine  company  that  had  issued  the  Western  Monthly, 
and  of  the  printing  firm  of  Church,  Goodman,  and  Donnelley. 
The  success  of  the  Lakeside,  which  retained  a  decidedly  western 
character,  did  much  to  destroy  the  indifference  that  eastern  pub- 
lishers had  shown  toward  western  subjects  and  western  literary 
activity,  an  indifference  that  nettled  Illinois  and  western  literary 
editors  from  James  Hall  down.  "  With  the  advent  of  the  Lake- 
side," says  Mr.  Fleming,  "Scribner's  Monthly,  the  forerunner 
of  the  present  Century, began  to  give  attention  to  western  subjects, 
and  to  seek  the  work  of  western  writers.  During  the  years  of 
the  Lakeside's  growth  other  eastern  publishers  began  to  glean 
in  Mid- West  fields,  and  the  competition  among  them  for  the 
virile  western  productions,  which  has  since  become  so  keen,  was 
fairly  on  by  the  time  the  magazine  had  reached  the  zenith  of  its

in  the  spring  of  1874,  and  the  magazine  suspended  publication 
with  the  February  number.  SCH

LADIES'  FRIEND  AND  SHOPPING  GUIDE,  i872(?)  to  date  (1875): 
Vol.  i,  no.  i,  of  a  new  series  is  dated  January  i,  1872,  and  en- 
titled Densmore's  Lady's  Friend.  The  title  Ladies'  Friend  and 
Shopping  Guide  apparently  belonged  to  the  old  series.  The 
newspaper  directories  for  1873-1875  give  the  paper  as  Lady's 
Friend.  It  appears  to  have  been  weekly  in  1872,  monthly, 
1873-1875.  In  1872  J.  A.  Densmore  was  editor,  J.  A.  Densmore 
and  Company  were  publishers,  and  Laura  M.  Hubbard  was 
"fashion  editress".  The  paper  contained  a  literary  department 
especially  for  ladies,  essays  on  education,  household  management, 
art,  music,  etc.  "It  shall  be  our  aim  to  influence  for  good  the 
fair  readers  .  .  .  and  through  them  their  husbands,  fathers, 
sons  and  brothers."  In  1873  and  1874  J.  A.  Densmore  was

were  editors  and  publishers  in  1875.  H 

DAILY  LAW  BULLETIN,  June  4,  i872-i9oo(?).  H 

LEDGER,  1872  to  date:  A  literary  and  family  magazine,  published 
weekly.  Although  the  "Ledger  Company"  is  the  name  given 
to  the  firm  of  editors  and  publishers,  Samuel  H.  Williams  was 
really  the  editor  for  almost  twenty  years.  W.  Scott  McComas 
was  associated  with  him  in  1880.  In  1891  W.  D.  Boyce  acquired 
the  Chicago  Ledger,  and  the  W.  D.  Boyce  Company  have  been 
editors  and  publishers  to  date.  Begun  in  connection  with  a  news- 
paper plate  supply  business  and  in  imitation  of  the  New  York 
Ledger,  in  the  first  few  years  it  made  a  feature  of  stories  of  a  good 
class.  Since  the  late  seventies,  however,  it  has  deteriorated  in 
literary  tone.  The  sensational,  although  not  immoral,  character 
of  the  Ledger  stories,  and  the  use  that  the  large  mail-order  houses 
have  made  of  its  advertising  columns,  have  given  this  paper  an 
unusually  long  life  and  extensive  circulation.

CHICAGO  ALLIANCE,  December  13,  i873~March,  1882+:  A  non- 
sectarian  weekly  founded  by  a  group  of  clergymen  including 
Prof.  David  Swing,  Rev.  Robert  Collyer,  Dr.  Hiram  A.  Thomas 
and  others.  With  a  slightly  religious  trend  in  its  material,  it 
was  devoted  in  the  main  to  literature,  particularly  that  of  the 


ii4  ILLINOIS  HISTORICAL  COLLECTIONS 

essay  form.  In  its  beginning  Rev.  J.  B.  McClure  was  managing 
editor;  the  other  editorial  work  was  shared  by  all.  But  one  by 
one  the  editors  withdrew,  before  long  leaving  Prof.  Swing  as 
editor-in-chief  and  chief  contributor.  His  weekly  sermon-essay 
was  the  leading  literary  feature  throughout  the  existence  of  the 
paper.  In  1874  the  Alliance  Publishing  Company  was  the  name 
by  which  the  group  of  editors  and  publishers  was  designated.  In 
1875  this  company  is  named  as  publishers,  while  the  list  of 
editors  given  includes  Prof.  Swing,  Rev.  C.  D.  Helmer,  H.  W. 
Thomas,  D.D.,  H.  N.  Powers,  D.D.,  and  Prof.  William  Mathews. 
H.  L.  Ensign  was  the  business  manager.  Professor  Swing's 
name  appears  as  that  of  editor  again  in  1876.  In  1877  Mr.  Mc- 
Clure disposed  of  his  interest.  In  the  same  year  Francis  F. 
Browne  became  literary  editor,  and  A.  H.  Hiding  took  charge  of 
the  political  department.  In  1878  Rev.  Z.  S.  Holbrook  pur- 
chased an  interest  and  assisted  Professor  Swing.  Browne  and 
Hiding  soon  retired  and. Mr.  Holbrook  sold  to  Henry  L.  Shepard, 
who  in  1879  and  1880  was  filling  the  position  of  editor.  Dixon  and 
Shepard  are  named  as  publishers  in  1879,  and  the  Alliance  Associa- 
tion in  1881.  The  failure  of  the  paper  early  in  1882  is  said  to 
have  been  due  to  the  unscrupulousness  of  the  business  manager. 
A  consolidation  with  the  Western  Magazine  was  effected  in 
March,  and  the  new  periodical  appeared  as  the  Weekly  Magazine 
(see  Western  Magazine) .  The  title  Chicago  Alliance  was  changed 
to  Alliance  in  third  volume  and  in  the  next  volume  to  Alliance 
and  Radical  Review.  HC

being  published  by  a  stock  company  of  which  Powis  was  presi- 
dent. Gen.  Charles  H.  Howard  and  James  W.  Wilson  bought

trolling editor.  Upon  acquiring  the  Farm,  Field,  and  Stockman

Western  Rural,  a  weekly,  which  had  been  published  some  twenty 
years  by  Milton  George,  was  purchased  by  the  Howard  and 
Wilson  Publishing  Company.  The  two  weeklies  were  published 
by  this  company  until  1900,  when  the  business  interests  were 
divided.  James  W.  Wilson  took  the  Western  Rural,  sold  his 
holdings  in  the  publishing  company,  and  it  ceased  to  exist.  The 
Howard  Company  purchased  the  Farm,  Field,  and  Fireside  and 
continued  its  publication  till  May.  1905.  The  president  of  this 
company  and  business  manager  was  Otis  McGaw  Howard,  son

and  associate  editor  was  Miss  Nina  F.  Howard.  The  Farm,

After  a  few  months  William  T.  Collins  purchased  a  large  interest 
and  made  the  paper  Democratic.  In  the  spring  of  1881  the 
property  was  secured  by  the  projectors  of  the  Morning  Herald. 
The  last  issue  was  dated  May  9,  1881.  The  Herald  began  May 
10  with  Frank  W.  Palmer  as  editor-in-chief,  with  Will  D.  Eaton 
as  assistant,  and  J.  W.  Scott  publisher  and  business  manager. 
In  1882  Palmer  retired;  John  F.  Ballentyne  became  editor,  with 
Slason  Thompson  and  David  Henderson  assistants.  Up  to  this 
time  the  Herald  had  been  Republican;  it  now  became  Inde- 
pendent, with  Republican  proclivities.  In  August,  1883,  John 
R.  Walsh  bought  a  controlling  interest,  which  he,  with  James

tin J.  Russell  as  editor,  assisted  by  Horatio  W.  Seymour.  After 
two  or  three  years  Seymour  became  editor,  and  continued  to 
serve  as  editor  until  March  4,  1895,  when  the  Herald  was  com- 
bined with  the  Times,  and  the  two  were  continued  in  the  Times-

WESTERN  MAGAZINE,  +i879~March,  1882+  :  It  had  been  founded 
three  years  before  at  Omaha.  Upon  its  being  brought  to  Chi- 
cago, Mrs.  Helen  Elkin  Starrett  became  the  editor.  It  was, 
according  to  the  sub-title,  "a  literary  monthly."  It  con- 
tained departments  designated  as  "Original"  and  "Eclectic," 
devoted  to  literary  and  historical  matters;  also,  later,  a  depart- 
ment called  the  "Club,"  consecrated  to  social  and  economic 
interests.  The  broad  and  progressive  policy  of  the  magazine 
won  general  approval,  and  when  by  merging  with  the  Alliance 
in  1882  it  added  Rev.  David  Swing  to  its  list  of  regular  con- 
tributors, its  outlook  was  more  than  ever  promising.  The 
Weekly  Magazine  published  its  first  number  May  6,  1882,  an- 
nouncing that  "We  have  believed  from  the  first  that  there  is 
need  and  a  demand  for  a  low-priced  periodical  to  supply  a  kind 
of  reading  differing  like  the  magazine  from  the  newspaper  in  its 
greater  deliberateness  and  earnestness,  and  yet  without  those 
qualities  of  cumbrousness  and  extensiveness  common  to  the 
magazines."  Although  many  contributors  of  high  rank  were 
engaged,  under  the  same  business  management  that  ruined  the 
Alliance,  the  new  Weekly  Magazine  ended  its  career  in  bank- 
ruptcy in  1884.  WH

for  1879  m  tne  Chicago  Historical  Society  library  are  included  in 
volume  21,  thus  fixing  the  date  of  establishment  as  1859.  Since 
this  paper  is  nowhere  found  dated  earlier  than  1879,  it  seems 
probable  that  it  was  founded  elsewhere  and  moved  to  Chicago 
in  the  late  seventies.  H

ILLINOIS  ADVOCATE,  +February,  1831-1832+  :  Established,  edited, 
published  by  John  York  Sawyer  and  Jonathan  Angevine,  the 
establishment  passed  into  the  hands  of  John  York  Sawyer. 
J.  Angevine  was  associated  with  Mr.  Sawyer  for  a  year. 
When  Mr.  Angevine  retired,  William  Peach  became  a  partner, 
Sawyer  removed  the  establishment  in  December,  1832,  to  Vanda- 
lia,  the  State  capital.  Mr.  Sawyer  merged  the  Western  Plowboy 
in  the  Advocate,  and  in  1839  the  paper  was  removed  to  Spring-

WESTERN  PLOUGHBOY,  January  i,  i83i-January  17,  1832:  An 
agricultural  paper  edited  and  published  by  John  York  Sawyer, 
and  issued  semi-monthly,  except  that  one  month  elapsed  be- 
tween the  second  and  third  numbers.  Twenty-five  numbers 
of  eight  two-column  pages  were  issued,  after  which  the  paper 
was  merged  in  the  Advocate,  one  page  of  which  was  thereafter 
given  up  to  such  agricultural  matters  as  had  previously  appeared 
in  the  Ploughboy.  This  was  the  second  agricultural  paper 
issued  west  of  the  Alleghanies ;  it  was  the  first  in  Illinois.  "  When 
it  is  recollected  that  only  one  agricultural  paper  (the  Western 
Tiller)  is  printed  west  of  the  Alleghanies,  and  that  most  of  the 
works  on  agriculture  treat  generally  on  the  manner  of  improving 
the  soil  rather  than  selecting  the  most  profitable  crop,  it  will  be 
seen  that  we  have  engaged  in  no  trifling  affair."  (Item,  March 
12,  1832.)  The  paper  was  printed  by  S.  S.  Brooks  in  the  Advo- 
cate office.  A  file,  lacking  the  first  number,  is  in  the  library  at 
the  University  of  Illinois.  MU

Grear  appeared  as  editor,  1855-1857.  Then  it  passed  into  the 
hands  of  Governor  Dougherty  and  espoused  the  cause  of  Democ- 
racy as  representea  by  Stephen  A.  Douglas,  but  later  it  supported 
the  principles  of  the  Breckenridge  wing.  The  paper  was  next 
sold  to  a  joint  stock  company,  and  edited  by  Mr.  McKinney. 
In  1860  it  came  under  the  control  of  James  Evans,  who,  in  1861, 
sold  it  to  William  Jones.  In  1863  it  was  suppressed  because  it 
interfered  with  the  work  of  recruiting  volunteers.  The  order  of

by  Joel  G.  Morgan,  who,  in  1864,  sold  it  to  J.  D.  Ferryman.

GAZETTE,  1853  to  date:  Edited  by  A.  Chester,  1853-1856;  D.  S. 
Parker,  1856-1869.  In  the  absence  of  Mr.  Parker  as  a  soldier 
during  the  Civil  War,  Mr.  J.  B.  Atkinson  conducted  and  edited 
the  paper.  For  a  brief  period  Mr.  W.  F.  Keady  was  associated 
with  Parker.  In  1869  Mr.  Parker  sold  to  Charles  Holt.  The 
first  numbers  of  the  Gazette  were  published  in  Chicago  by  the 
Chicago  Journal  Company,  there  being  no  place  yet  built  in  Kan- 
kakee  where  a  press  could  be  set  up.  This  continued  for  a  few 
weeks  only,  when  the  press  and  type  were  sent  to  Kankakee, 
and  for  a  time  the  work  was  done  in  the  open  air  under  the  shade 
of  a  friendly  tree.  In  December,  1886,  the  firm  became  Charles 
Holt  and  Sons.  March,  1905,  Clarence  E.  Holt  purchased  his 
brother's  interest  and  the  firm  became  Charles  and  C.  E.  Holt. 
Charles  Holt  died  July  21,  1908,  at  the  age  of  ninety-one  and  the 
Gazette  became  the  property  of  Clarence  E.  Holt.  F

James  Green.    This  partnership  was  soon  dissolved  and  Hon. 
A.  C.  Lake  assumed  the  editorship.     Mr.  Lake  sold  to  B.  A. 
Fuller,  who  conducted  the  paper  through  the  Buchanan  cam- 
paign.    Mr.  Fuller  sold  to  W.  N.  Bristol,  who  continued  to  edit 
amd  publish  it  until  1859,  when  J.  B.  and  Gabriel  Durham  pur- 
chased it.     Messrs.  Durham  published  it  until  1862,  when  they 
joined  the  army  and  its  publication  ceased.     In  1864  Cyrus 
Ingham  resumed  the  publication  and  later  sold  to  W.  L.  Henry, 
who  published  it  until  1881.     In  December,  1881,  Mr.  Henry 
sold  it  to  E.  B.  Buck,  and  the  name  was  changed  to  Herald.    In 
1885  Mr.  Buck  sold  it  to  R.  H.  Ballinger,  who  changed  the  title 
of  the  paper  to  Chief.    Ballinger  sold  the  paper  in  1887  to  Alfred 
Doolittle  and  W.  J.  Brock.     It  was  then  published  under  the 
name  of  the  Kankakee  County  Democrat.     W.  J.  Brock  bought 
Mr.  Doolittle's  interest  in  1888,  and  continued  to  publish  the 
paper  until  January,  1892.     In  1892  it  was  purchased  by  the 
Democrat  Publishing  Company;  T.  B.  Collins  and  J.  B.  Smith 
publishers.    A  daily  was  started  in  connection  with  the  weekly, 
February  22,  1892.    The  paper  is  now  being  published  by  this 
firm.

of  the  laws  of  the  Union  to  1815 ;  Robert  Black  well  and  Daniel 

1  Vol.  i,  no.  30.  is  dated  December  13,  1814.     If  the  paper  was  regularly 
issued  and  numbered,  it  must  therefore  have  been  begun  June  24,  1814.     But  an 
advertisement  in  the  one  number  extant  is  dated  May  28,  1814. 

2  Matthew   Duncan,    the    first  printer  in   Illinois,  was  an  elder  brother  of 
Governor  Joseph  Duncan.     He  was  born  in  Kentucky:    after  graduation  from 
Yale  College,  he  returned  to  his  native  state,  and  for  a  time  edited  a  paper  at 
Russellville  entitled  the  Mirror,  which  had  been  established  November!,   1806. 
From  that  he  became  editor  of  Farmer's  Friend,  begun  in  the  same  town  in  1809. 
Ninian  Edwards,  first  territorial  governor  of  Illinois,  had  been  a  lawyerat  Russell- 
ville and  was  his  triend.     Through  him  Duncan  secured  the  printing  of  the  first 
edition  of  the  Illinois  Territorial  Laws,  issued  from  his  press  in  1813.     In  the  next 
year  Duncan  moved  his  printing  establishment  to  Kaskaskia  and  began  the  Illinois 
Herald.   In  December  of  1814  he  issued  the  first  pamphlet  published  in  Illinois,  and 
in  June,  1815,  the  first  book,  volume  one  of  "Pope's  Digest."     Having  sold  his 
paper  to  Daniel  P.  Cook  and  Robert  Blackwell  in  1817,  Duncan  abandoned  journal- 
ism and  entered  the  army,  in  which  he  rose  to  some  prominence,  and  saw  active 
service  in  the  Black  Hawk  War.     On  October  4,  1832,  he  was  made  captain  of 
Rangers,  and  in  1833  became  captain  of  the  First  Dragoons.     After  four  years  of 
service  he  resigned  from  the  army  and  went  into  business  at  Shelbyville,  where 
he  died  on  January  16,  1844.       (Julia  Duncan  Kirby,  Joseph  Duncan,  Fergus

REPUBLICAN  ADVOCATE,  February  27,  i823~March  2, 1824  +  :  A  pro- 
slavery  paper  established  and  nominally  edited  by  R.  K.  Fleming. 
Elias  Kent  Kane  seems  to  have  been  the  real  editor  until  he  was 
elected  to  the  Senate  in  1824,  after  which  time  John  Reynolds 
was  probably  in  control.  The  paper  was  in  favor  of  a  conven- 
tion in  1824  and  of  slavery,  but  was  open  to  letters  against 
both  causes.  It  supported  Crawford.  With  the  number  for 
January  22,  1824,  the  editorship  passed  to  William  Orr,  who

ILLINOIS  REPORTER,  i826-i829(?):  William  Orr  was  editor.  He 
denied  affiliation  with  any  party  in  the  State,  and  felt  impelled 
to  rally  the  virtuous  and  intelligent  to  the  standard  of  another 
party.  Apparently  his  rally  was  not  successful,  for  he  sold  to 
Sidney  Breeze  within  a  few  months  —  in  June  or  July.  Under 
Breeze  the  paper  supported  the  administration  and  Daniel  P. 
Cook,  though  Breeze  had  been  a  Jackson  man.  L.  O.  Schrader 
was  Breeze's  publisher  for  a  while,  and  was  probably  succeeded 
in  1828  by  R.  K.  Fleming.  A

tiser for  August  31,  receipt  of  the  first  number,  saying,  "This  is 
the  sixth  paper  now  published  in  Illinois."  The  editorial  ad- 
dress included,  "As  we  published,  in  this  state,  pending  the  late

presidential  canvass,  the  only  paper  which  took  a  decided  stand 
in  favor  of  the  successful  competitor  for  the  first  office  in  the 
nation,  it  will  scarcely  be  expected  by  those  who  were,  of  right, 
in  the  opposition,  that  we  should  now  retrace  our  steps  .  .  .  etc. " 
Although  Fleming  was  printer,  and  the  only  person  whose  name 
appeared  on  the  paper,  it  is  clear  that  Sidney  Breeze  was  really 
editor.  He  wrote  to  Ninian  Edwards  September  21,  1830:  "If 
I  remain  in  politics  I  am  determined  to  make  Gov.  Reynolds 
choose  between  Smith  and  myself,  in  other  words  between  the 
Crisis  and  Democrat ....  Do  give  your  views  of  them,  edito-

SHAWNEE  CHIEF/  October  i7-November  (?),  1818+  :  Established 
by  Henry  Eddy  and  Singleton  H.  Kimmel.  In  a  short  time  the 
name  was  changed  to 

ILLINOIS  EMIGRANT,  +  (before  December  26,  i8i8)-September  18, 
1819+  :  Published  by  Eddy  and  Kimmel  and  edited  by  Eddy. 
This,  the  second  paper  in  Illinois,  was  a  four-page,  four-column 
sheet,  well  printed  in  the  early  years.  In  the  issue  for  April  3, 
1819,  is  a  criticism  of  Governor  Bond  for  signing  the  law  estab- 
lishing a  state  bank,  and  for  becoming  president  of  it.  The  last 
issue  was  vol.  i,  no.  54,  September  18,  1819.  With  the  next 
number  the  name  was  changed  to  AE 

ILLINOIS  GAZETTE,  +  September  25,  i8i9-i83o(?) :  The  paper  was 
continued  by  Eddy  and  Kimmel  until  May  22,  1820,  when  the 
partnership  was  dissolved  and  James  Hall  took  the  place  of 
Kimmel  as  partner  in  the  publishing,  and  as  editor.  This  ar- 
rangement continued  until  November  16,  1822,  when  Hall  with- 
drew; with  the  number  for  November  23  C.  Jones  became 
publisher  and  Henry  Eddy  editor  and  proprietor.  Eddy  sold  a 
half  interest  to  John  Foliart,  who  became  publisher,  with  Eddy, 
as  John  Foliart  and  Company,  on  February  n,  1826.  They  sold 
October  18,  1828,  to  Alexander  F.  Grant,  who  conducted  the 
paper  alone  until  November  8,  then,  with  Thomas  Palmer,  as 
Alex  F.  Grant  and  Company  until  November  20,  1830;  then 
Grant  alone  became  publisher.  The  last  number  in  the  Library 
of  Congress  is  vol.  io;  no.  30,  December  18,  1830,  and  is  prob- 
ably near  the  end  of  the  paper's  career.  Under  Eddy  and  Kim- 
mel the  Gazette  was  alive  and  fairly  vigorous.  Hall  made  it  per- 
haps the  best  edited  paper  in  the  state,  with  the  possible  exception 
of  the  Edwardsville  Spectator.  He  preserved  a  neutral  position 
in  politics  for  some  time,  and  at  all  times  kept  the  columns  open 
to  discussion.  But  after  he  became  familiar  with  state  politics 
the  political  tone  was  vigorous.2  Hall  gave  the  paper  a  very 
unusual  literary  tone.  Under  subsequent  editors  its  qualities 
deteriorated  to  insignificance.  MSAE

1  The   title    Shawnee  Chief  is  used   here   solely  on  the  word  of   previous 
writers.     In  the  notice  of  dissolution  of  partnership  between  Eddy  and  Kimmel, 
mention  is  made  of  debtors    to  Illinois  Emigrant  and  Illinois  Gazette,  but  not 
to  Shawnee  Chief.      I  have  found  no  reference  to  that  name  in  early  Missouri  or  In- 
diana papers  in  the  Library  of  Congress.  —  F.  \V.  S.

RANDOLPH  PLAINDEALER,  + 1866  to  date :  Published  by  Jones  until 
1868  when  he  sold  to  Thomas  M.  Nichol.  In  1869  J.  D.  Watson 
purchased  an  interest.  In  1870  the  paper  was  sold  to  Messrs. 
Kimball  and  Taylor,  who  placed  Edward  Fagin  in  charge  as 
editor  and  manager.  In  1872  he  was  succeeded  by  Fred  L. 
Alles.  In  1873  Alles  purchased  the  paper  and  on  the  same  day 
sold  it  to  S.  L.  Taylor.  In  one  month  Albert  Goddard  became 
associated  with  Mr.  Taylor.  He  retired  in  1874  and  was  suc- 
ceeded by  W.  B.  Taylor,  who  published  the  paper  with  his 
brother,  S.  Lovejoy  Taylor,  until  1881,  the  latter  continuing  as 
editor  to  that  date,  when  they  sold  to  Messrs.  George  Campbell 
and  Don  E.  Dietrich.  In  four  months  Charles  Campbell  pur- 
chased Dietrich's  interest,  and  the  Campbell  Brothers  con-

on  April  3,  of  that   year  Horace  Greeley  addressed  to  "  Friend  Fletcher,"  then 
about  to  start  a  paper  at  Sparta,  his  well-kno-w  n  letter  of  advice  to  a  country 
editor.     Perhaps  Greeley's  advice  discouraged  Fletcher;   at  any  rate  I  have  not 
found  that  he  started  a  paper  in  1860. — F.  W.  S.

ILLINOIS  REPUBLICAN,  1835-1839:  A  Democrat  paper;  supported

1839.  It  was  edited  and  published  by  John  L.  Roberts  and 
George  R.  Weber.  Stephen  A.  Douglas  contributed  to  its 
columns.  A  mob,  one  of  which  was  the  sheriff  of  the  county,

ILLINOIS  STATE  REGISTER,  + August  io(  ?),  1839,  to  date :  Established 
by  John  York  Sawyer,  at  Edwardsville  as  Illinois  Advocate.  It 
was  published  at  Springfield  by  Wm.  Walters  and  George  R. 
Weber  as  editors  and  publishers  until  1845.  Mr.  Walters  and 
Charles  H.  Lanphier  were  editors  and  publishers,  1845-1846.  On 
the  death  of  Mr.  Walters  in  July,  1846,  Mr.  Lanphier  became 
editor  and  owner.  He  and  George  Walker  were  its  editors  and 
publishers,  June  4,  1847-1858.  On  January  2,  1849,  the  Daily 
Illinois  State  Register  was  first  issued.  Mr.  Walker  having  died, 
Mr.  Lanphier  and  Edward  Conner  edited  and  published  the 
paper  in  1858-1859,  Mr.  Lanphier  becoming  sole  proprietor 
late  in  1859,  and  so  continued  until  November  24,  1863.  During 
1860,  the  late  Congressman  William  M.  Springer,  edited  the 
paper.  Mr.  Lanphier' s  connection  with  the  Illinois  State  Reg- 
ister closed  in  1863,  when  it  was  suspended  for  a  few  months. 
It  was  revived  by  the  Illinois  State  Register  Publishing  Company 
under  the  business  management  of  George  Judd  and  was 
edited  by  I.  N.  Higgins.  On  November  12,  1864,  the  paper  was 
again  suspended.  On  January  i,  1865,  John  W.  Merritt  and 
sons,  Edward  L.  and  Joseph  D.,  became  proprietors  and  revived 
the  paper  with  John  W.  Merritt  as  editor-in-chief  and  Edward 
L.  Merritt  as  his  associate  editor.  January  i,  1866,  Edward  L. 
and  Joseph  D.  Merritt  became  proprietors  under  the  firm  name 
of  E.  L.  Merritt  and  Brother.  In  1873  John  W.  Merritt  was 
succeeded  as  editor  by  Edward  L.  Merritt.  In  1877  the  Mer- 
ritt Brothers  sold  the  paper  to  an  incorporated  company,  com- 
posed of  John  M.  Palmer,  John  Mayo  Palmer,  Edward  L.  Mer-

ritt  and  James  M.  Higgins.  In  1880  this  company  sold  the 
property  to  G.  W.  and  J.  R.  Weber,  sons  of  George  R.  Weber, 
who  was  connected  with  it  in  1839,  and  Charles  Edwards,  John 
H.  Oberly,  and  G.  R.  Weber  edited  it.  Soon  afterwards  the 
paper  was  turned  over  to  a  trustee.  Early  in  1881  John  M. 
Palmer  bid  it  in  on  a  sale  and  then  sold  it  to  George  Smith,  H. 
W.  Clendenin,  and  Thomas  Rees  of  Keokuk,  Iowa,  who  issued 
their  first  number  of  June  19, 1881,  under  the  firm  name  of  Smith, 
Clendenin  and  Rees.  Mr.  Smith  died  in  1886  and  the  proprietor- 
ship was  then  placed  in  an  incorporated  company  composed  of 
H.  W.  Clendenin,  Thomas  Rees,  and  the  heirs  of  Mr.  Smith,  the 
title  being  the  Illinois  State  Register  Company.  A  few  years 
thereafter  the  Smith  interest  was  purchased  by  the  company 
controlled  by  Messrs.  Clendenin  and  Rees,  which  is  its  present 
owner.  Mr.  Clendenin  has  been  editor-in-chief  since  1881, 
and  Mr.  Rees  has  been  business  manager  during  the  same  time. 
The  Illinois  State  Register  has  been  a  Democratic  paper  since 
1836,  when  Mr.  Walters  assumed  its  publication.  EDBJAHSUF

VANDALIA,  FAYETTE  COUNTY 

ILLINOIS  INTELLIGENCER,  +1820-1832+  :  Moved  from  Kaskaskia  to 
Vandalia  where  Elijah  C.  Berry  was  succeeded  by  a  brother,  Wil- 
liam Berry,  and  William  H.  Brown.  The  Intelligencer  for  Feb- 
ruary 15,  1823,  contained  a  severe  criticism  of  the  convention 
legislators,  written  by  Brown.  To  the  article  was  appended  a 
note:  "The  above  'extraordinary  legislative  proceedings'  have 
been  published  by  my  partner,  Wm.  H.  Brown,  esq.,  without 
my  approbation,  and  shall  be  answered  next  week.  William 
Berry."  The  next  number  bears  Blackwell's  name  instead  of 
Brown's  and  contains  signed  articles  by  William  Berry,  Wm. 
H.  Brown,  and  R.  Blackwell,  explaining  the  change.  The  paper 
now  became  pro-slavery.  For  some  time  between  March  19, 
and  May  7,  1824,  Berry  was  financially  embarrassed  and  the 
paper  was  suspended  for  a  short  time.  Governor  Coles  fur- 
nished David  Blackwell  money  to  run  the  paper,  and  stipulated 
that  it  should  support  the  anti-convention  party.  Samuel  D. 
Lockwood  was  editor,  representing  Coles,  but  his  name  does 
not  appear  in  the  paper.  On  the  surface,  Berry  disposed  of  his 
interest  to  David  Blackwell,  whose  prospectus  asserting  that  he 
would  "give  his  uniform  opposition"  to  the  convention  was 
published  May  14.  David  Blackwell  published  the  Intelligencer 
until  February  4,  1825,  when  Robert  Blackwell  and  Company, 
printers  to  the  state  and  publishers  of  the  laws  of  the  United 
States,  became  the  publishers.  With  the  number  for  June  24, 
1825,  Robert  Blackwell  alone  became  publisher.  With  Robert 
Blackwell's  return  to  control,  the  paper  again  became  friendly 
to  slavery.  Judge  James  Hall  bought  a  half  interest  January 
17,  1829,  and  was  editor  until  1832,  when  he  left  Illinois.  The 
paper  supported  Adams,  but  "  felt  no  animosity  to  Jackson  and 
stood  ready  to  do  the  same  justice  to  him  as  to  Adams."  In 
March,  1832,  Hall  sold  to  Sherman  and  Greiner,  owners  of 
Illinois  Whig,  and  the  two  papers  were  combined,  with  S.  C. 
Sherman  as  editor.  EMWUHSA

January,  1833,  Judge  Hall  moved  to  Cincinnati,  where  he  pub- 
lished The  Western  Monthly  Magazine,  a  Continuation  of  the 
Illinois  Monthly  Magazine  until  December,  1835.  Hall  was  the 
chief  contributor,  and  in  such  articles  as  Notes  on  Illinois,  People 
and  Manners,  and  Customs  of  the  West,  and  in  essays  on  educa- 
tional topics,  stories  such  as  The  Missionaries,  The  Indian  Wife's 
Lament,  The  Money  Diggers,  and  many  poems,  he  realized  the 
ideal  suggested  in  an  article  on  Periodicals  which  he  published 
in  the  number  for  April,  1831 :  "Our  editors  have  become  too 
formal  and  stately,  and  fastidious.  .  .  .  Instead  of  the 
infinite  variety  of  topics,  which  once  gave  interest  to  works  of 
this  description,  nothing  is  now  admitted  but  reviews,  tales  and 
poetry.  .  .  .  Nothing  will  go  down  but  trifles,  cold,  formal,

old-fashioned  magazines  ....  within  whose  well  furnished 
pages,  the  reader,  whatever  might  be  his  taste,  was  sure  to  find 
something  agreeable."  Among  those  who  helped  to  satisfy  in 
the  pages  of  the  Monthly  the  varied  tastes  of  Illinoisans  were 
Morris  Birkbeck,  John  M.  Peck,  Governor  Edward  Coles,  Dr. 
Asa  Fitch,  George  Russell,  and  Salmon  P.  Chase.  "The  Illi- 
nois Monthly  Magazine  was  one  of  the  most  typical  of  the  western 
journals,"  remarks  William  C.  Cairns,  in  his  monograph  On 
the  Development  of  American  Literature  jrom  1815  to  1833.

AGE  OF  STEAM,  April  9,  1854-1855+:  Apparently  established  by 
H.  P.  H.  Bromwell,  it  was  by  the  seventh  number  published  by 
Morras  and  Russell,  with  W.  P.  Morras  as  editor.  Then  Morras 
withdrew,  and  after  a  brief  suspension  Thomas  J.  Russell  alone 
continued  the  publication  with  no.  9,  which  appeared  July  15, 
1854,  until  after  June  23,  1855.  Disclaiming  political  partiban- 
shtp,  the  paper  showed  Whig  tendencies,  but  was  especially  not- 
able for  its  distinctly  literary  tone.  It  is  said  in  the  history  of
